Instagram, Screencasts and Flipagram
Instagram is a great app to use when sharing photos with friends. Some educators use Instagram to share photos of their classroom activities to parents. When using Instagram, you can upload and tag people in the photos, you can follow people, or others can like pictures and follow your profile. Videos can be also added to Instagram with special effects.
I used Flipagram to create a video with music and special effects. I shared it on Instagram. Flipagram has amazing special effects to add to pictures or videos. The user can add text, emojis, or music. The following video was created using Flipagram, and I was able to share in numerous social sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter, Tumblr and many others.

I really liked using Instagram, Screencast-o-matic, and Flipagram. I have used Instagram in the past. Flipagram was new for me, but I really liked the cool features. Screencast-o-matic was a great app to create tutorials to teach teachers or students. I chose to explain to teachers Campus Odyssey a digital educational website that students use. As a librarian, many teachers have questions on a daily basis of online curriculum provided by the district. Librarians must be prepared to help teachers that have questions about district online curriculum.
I think my favorite one was Flipagram, because I had never used it before. In my school, we opt out of the talent show, so teachers must create a unique video highlighting their class. The last day of school students get to enjoy all the videos from the different grade levels. I believe Flipagram would be a great app to use when creating the classroom video. The music is provided, and so many cool features can be used to make the video more entertaining.

Interesting ideas for using Flipagram at the end of the year. Also, great job on the screencast; it was super informative.
ReplyDeleteLike you mentioned many teachers do use instagram to share classroom activities, myself included. Fligagram is new website that I really have never heard anything about, so when working on this assingnment I did learn something new, which I enjoyed. I like the ideas you shared about the end of the year. Very useful for me as a teacher.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried using Instagram for uploading videos only pictures. That is something I will look into especially since I would like to create an Instagram page for my library. I did try Flipagram for this assignment and really liked it. So easy to use. Great job on your blog!
