Welcome to Instagram!

For those of you who don't know, Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social media site. It's an easy way to share photos with friends, family, and other classrooms around the world. Instagram is primarily used by those with iOS devices (iPhone, iPods Touch, and iPad), but is also available on Android. It's really easy to share pictures with one of these devices - all you have to do is shoot a picture, pick out and apply a digital filter to the photograph, add a caption, and upload it to Instagram - it's that easy! The classroom learned about Instagram today, and some of the students even began taking and uploading a few photos, as our class now has our own classroom account - for those of you on Instagram, our user name is @mrhoeppnersclass. For those of you not on Instagram, fear not - you can still view our Instagram feed on our blog (look at the right-hand side of the page). We are going to be using Instagram to connect with a bunch of other classrooms in the near future, as part of a photography and writing project... but you're just going to have to wait a little longer to find out more about that! In the meantime, look at the right-hand side of the page, and check out the first few photos that our class has published.
