When we were first given the assignment to document our teaching through instagram, I was a bit unsure of how I would feel. After participating in the assignment, I am really happy that we did this! I found this to be the most effective and entertaining way for all of us student teachers to stay connected and communicate. The photos allow us to see each persons experience, and see how everyone is doing. Many of the posts were entertaining as well, which helped me to get to know my classmates better through a demonstration of their personalities. For my own storify, I was able to see my progression from student teaching at EHS to long term subbing at RBV. This will be informational for others following me to see what they too may expect once their CT is out of the classroom. I was also able to vent some of my frustrations about the overwhelming amount of planning and grading in a fun way, opening the floor for advice and support from my peers. Overall, I liked this assignment, and I feel that it really helped me to connect with my peers during a difficult switch in schools for me.
