Instagrams uses in the classroom

Instagrams or instant shared pictures or video clips!  So, the educational groups or users that would benefit from Instagrams (IGs)could be posting the following: student's progress, sharing favorite books in video format, or even creating a magical class field trip that is shown in pictures, all put in a private area like Instagram Direct. Of course it is important to watch copyright as well.  Other ideas can be seen at http://www.weareteachers.com/blogs/post/2014/08/07/10-ways-to-use-instagram-in-the-classroom

Instagram Direct is a must for this educator when posting student pictures or video clips. Any thoughts on Instagram Direct?
