Teachers in the current day need to keep up to date with the
newest technologies that students are using in order to successfully integrate
them into classrooms or class curriculum somehow. It is known that when
something is of personal interest, there is much more motivation to do it.
Using certain technologies that create interest can help facilitate
"natural" learning.
Here is an example of a project that can be done using the
Instagram App, that is likely to generate interest amongst students and create
initiative. Perhaps permission from parents may be needed first, however it can
use other apps such as Twitter or FaceBook as well.
The instructions are
as follows: (Grade 6 students, social studies)
- Create a page where you act as a tour guide to one of the
Canadian provinces or territories.
- Provide at least 5 posts where you include a picture in each
post of somewhere or something in your province and a caption which describes
it adequately.
- Your goal is to convince followers to visit your province or
territory, using its natural beauty, landmarks, and history.
