instagram informationMs. Gillis’s reading class is now on Instagram!
In an evolving educational landscape, technology has given teachers many new opportunities for sharing information and keeping families connected to the classroom. In an effort to take advantage of the instantaneous nature of social media, students, parents, and guardians will be given the opportunity to stay up to date with what is going on in Ms. Gillis’s reading class via Instagram! What is it? Instagram is an interactive site/app that allows people to upload a photograph and write a caption to go with it. The photos and captions can then be viewed and commented on by the followers of that Instagram account. Why are we using it? This account is intended to be a fun way to instantly and easily communicate with students, parents, and guardians about all of the awesome things we are doing in class! Also, this is a great way for us to work together at school and home to model how social media can and should be used—appropriately! By sharing information and hopefully talking about it at school and home, students will be able to see the positive ways that social media can be utilized in today’s society. What will we be posting? We will be posting pictures of any exciting activities going on in class, student work samples, recommendations from students and Ms. Gillis on new reads, and other cool reading-related information! Safety first Ms. Gillis’s classroom Instagram account is a private account—not public. She will only accept followers who she knows (see directions below). This account will only be viewable by students, parents, and guardians from the current school year. *You are invited to follow the account, but be aware that this account will never follow anyone back. #207reads We LOVE positive comments and shout-outs, so feel free to leave comments that are positive and respectful on any posts made by msgilliscms. In addition, feel free to use our hashtag #207reads on any reading-related pictures that you post! We will check out these pictures and add them to our in-school Instagram wall! Please keep in mind, this account is NOT a social platform for casual conversation. The account will be checked several times a day and comments will be deleted if they are unrelated or inappropriate. If you would like to follow our class Instagram feed, please follow these steps:
