Instagram selfies

After coming back from summer vacation, my students and I discussed all of the fun things we did.  We also discussed what a "selfie" is.  From there our topics lead to apps we might use to share our "selfies".  We talked about instagram and what it is used for.  We also discussed what a hashtag is and why people use them.  I talked about the search tool that it is.  Most were unaware that you can search a hashtag to find things.  The students then created a small selfie with a background that represents either a place they went this summer or somewhere they might want to go to.  We ended up gluing them all together onto a large screenshot of an Instagram page.  Since our school is Robert C. Lindsey, we called it Lindsagram!  I love how the collage selfies came out!
