Have you started to share your teaching journey on Instagram?
At first I really didn't know what to expect and then I discovered that the Instagram community is extremely diverse, dynamic and FULL of amazing ideas and resources for teachers to take advantage of!

If you're not yet on Instagram I highly suggest that you take the leap today!
Why?
What I love about Instagram is that it is real.
It is not exclusive to education.
When you scroll through your feed you will see that people share about their everyday lives as well as their teaching journey. It honestly is a great way to connect with the greater teaching community!

Instagram is now my "go to" source for inquiries, provocations and all things educational. Plus, I feel normal human (not just an educator all the time) as I learn about those who are sharing instead of on a platform like Pinterest. I find that on many other networks there is a depersonalization where there is no real live person who is connecting to those who are reading the content.
One cool thing about Instagram is that many, if not all, of your favourite bloggers have an account which you can follow and get to know them on a more personal level.
Many bloggers host fun giveaways and even participate in IG blog hops!
