Review – Easy to use and feature rich photo sharing app. While this is a very popular social media tool, it has many potential classroom uses. For example – as a photo prompt for writing, for creating photo essays, sharing images particularly in science and art. It can be used to help bring real life context to the classroom, and important part of 21st Century skills. Through scavenger hunts, finding images to illustrate math concepts, or digital storytelling, students can explore their world with new perspectives.
