PA-021 - Using Instagram to Enhance Learning in Dental School

Since 2010, Instagram is one of the most popular social media platform for posting images and video content. Its built-in features allow users to interact with their audience through quizzes/ polls and/or via live-stream video. In education, Instagram can be used as a supplemental tool to engage students with course material outside of class and an way for faculty to connect with current generation of learners. Participants will learn important features of Instagram for a classroom setting and strategies to best engage students. Lessons learned will be shared by faculty from two different dental institutions about students’ perspectives using Instagram.
