I will create an instagram account with my class such as "Ms. Bebeau's class 2018" and have parents follow to see what their students are up to during the day! If I am working with students who are at the right age, I may allow them to post on the account, like an all about me post or something exciting that they accomplished or did! It would also be a great way to have students follow this account, if they are at the right age to have an Instagram account, rather than trying to find a teacher's personal account. There are also great accounts teachers can have students follow related to certain topics, such as art and science museums! ]]> 2018-10-29 22:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mbebeau/k1aanb7clny1/wish/298291869 Cons of Instagram mbebeau https://padlet.com/mbebeau/k1aanb7clny1/wish/298292457 -Social media may led students to inappropriate behaviors such as bullying or inappropriate posts made by others
-If account isn't private, anyone can see what you post
-If students are younger, it may be a challenge for them to work the account if posting on class account
