Instagram and Vine









I love Instagram!! I've had an Instagram account for a while now. I set one up because I have several friends who do not have a Facebook, but do have an Instagram.  I enjoy the pictures they upload and they enjoy mine! Now, Vine, I had never used before. I usually upload videos in Instagram as well so I didn't see the need for having a Vine account.  But after having to download it for this assignment, I realized that it's a great app to take short videos of important moments, or just for fun moments.  It's very similar to Instagram when it comes to recording. One just has to press on the screen whenever we want to record something or someone.  I really like how you can hashtag on both Instagram and Vine.  For example, a librarian may hashtag an upcoming event (#bookfair or #literacynight) and we can view what others around the world are doing for the same topics.  Librarians and teachers can definitely use these apps for advertisement, announcements, due dates, upcoming events, or simply just to show the love for what we do. =)

  1. I see we use Instagram to catalog the lives of our daughters. :) I enjoy it as well.
