The Power of Instagram to Connect With Students  - Renovated Learning @DianaLRendina

The Power of Instagram to Connect With Students  - Renovated Learning @DianaLRendina | gpmt | Scoop.it
From www.renovatedlearning.com - May 27, 2022 5:55 AM
’ve long used Instagram as a way to reach out to my students.  It started back when I first got an iPad through DonorsChoose at my previous library (before I had a personal smartphone).  Some of my former students (now adults) still follow that account and keep in touch.  When I started at Tampa Prep, I created a new account for the library (@TPrepLibrary) separate from my personal account (@dianalrendina) to help conform to the school’s social media policies.  

During the lockdown and virtual learning time in the last quarter of the 2019-2020 school year, the library Instagram account became an essential way for me to keep in touch with my students and share with them.  During this time, I also had more time for PD, so I watched several AASL conference sessions on Instagram and took the fantastic eCourse, Dare to Grow: The Instagram Lab (called Grow Your ‘Gram at the time).  While that eCourse is geared more towards solopreneurs and not everything applied to the school library, I found SO many actionable tips in this course that I’ve utilized in my school library Instagram account.

I agree that social media is an excellent communication tool for teachers. I also agree that you must utilize the same platforms the students use to reach them in their virtual communities. This form of technology allows teachers to connect with students on different topics or events. Share important information with students and parents during after school hours. Educators should find a suitable platform to establish a profile and use it as an innovative communication tool.

Learners NOT Students!

The term "student" was defined in the middle ages. It is time to rethink what that implies and redefine the learner.

This is so very true. People develop a real meaningful reason for learning or the learning will have much less staying power. I love what this article points out. Teacher's function best if they provide guidance for the process and monitor success.

I like the debate this could start in my classroom!

It's been so long since I could call anyone a "student" with a straight face. I call people participants and learners... because the "student" label means I'm a "teacher" and I'm not...I'm a learner, too.
