Instagram and Vine


I found Vine pretty easy to use.  I did not like that the video was only a few seconds.  However, I can see it being used in the classroom as a creative writing assignment.  It could also be added to Animoto or Power point and the video segments could be used in a presentation.  It took me a while to embed the videos.  I was not able to embed them straight from Vine.  I used the Vine/Twitter embed code.






Instagram is a social networking site where you can add pictures for you friends to see. Your friends can like and comment on your pictures.  You can also like and comment on your friends pictures.  It is similar to facebook, but with pictures only.  My experience with Instagram was not good.  Setting up the account, adding pictures, and adding friends was easy.  The app itself is very user friendly, however it would not let me embed anything.  I even had a friend come over and look at all the setting.  What I decided to do was link my Instagram to my Twitter. One thing I like about all the programs we have been using is that they can all be used together.  Instagram would be great to use in class.  I would use it on field trips. The students could use Instagram to take pictures during the field trip and use them to make a project when they get back.  Vine and Instagram could be used together in that way.
