REMEMBER TO SAVE often! You also can cut-and-paste content from Word or a google doc, but you need to be aware that the formatting might need adjustment once you do.

After you have played a bit with the editing function, explore the website or digital tool on your page. Click on your tool link, explore what's it for and how it works, and return to your Wiki page to add details about the tool. Include the following:

How it works Why you'd use it for student learning

InstagramELE Here's an example

InstagramELE is an online tool that allows students to learn foreign language in a fun, recognizable manner. Using Instagram similarly to a classroom database allows students to browse different topics and focus on vocabular. There is an emphasis on "word of the day" which can prompt classroom discussion. For example, around the holidays it is very common to see #(holiday). Holidays are always integrated into the course material, and are often times a fun and interesting way to discover new cultural ideas of those in a foreign country, and of those in the classroom.

I would absolutely use this for student learning because it allows students to learn by using something familiar to them. This would be especially useful because it allows students to use their cell phones- but in an educational manner. This may cause some issues because not all students have cell phones or internet access at home. If this were to be utilized for educational purposes, it would have be used solely during school hours.
