A New Culture of Learning: knowing, making, and playing
Thomas & Brown
Instagram is quickly exhibiting its power as a source for identity construction and a repository for images that illustrate this formation. For the past month and a half, I have been exploring Instagram as a site of informal learning and how it functions as a resource for educational ideas about environmental stewardship.
The challenge:
1) follow me on Instagram @stoplitterbugginme
2) explore and identify 3 Instagrammers whose main purpose supports a cause that is dear to your heart (mine is the environment), follow them and tag me in a comment on one of their posts.
3) contribute to my project by uploading an image that makes a statement about an environmental issue you encounter this week (tag me in the comment). See my posts for ideas. And offer your own!!!
I am becoming an avid instagrammer and I'm very excited to see your final project! I agree that Instagram is a prime example of online identity development and a resource for informal learning. Look for my posts @kindseymarie
