In this episode, I’ll take you through the steps of finding and sharing helpful EdTech tips on Instagram Reels. You’ll also hear how you can create your own Reels to share with colleagues and other educators near and far!
Learning from Instagram Reels
You don’t have to be a celebrity to create engaging, helpful content on Instagram. With the Reels tool in Instagram, you can share quick tips, ideas and updates with other educators. Learn the story behind my Instagram feed, specifically how I’ve used Reels to share tips, and a few things I’ve learned from others thanks to this short video content.
You don’t need to be famous on Instagram to make and share short videos. The app has a feature called “Reels” where you can upload short videos giving advice and updates from your account specifically targeted at fellow educators!
