Favorite Instagramers

I must confess that this summer Instagram has taken the place of Pinterest as my go-to teacher inspiration place. I think I enjoy it more because I get to know the people and I feel like I can trust their ideas more than Pinterest. It's also real-time, so for example, everyone is posting their back-to-school ideas right now which is really helpful to me. I also think it exposes me to new and creative things I wouldn't necessarily search for on Pinterest.

Today, I'm going to share my top 5 Instagramers I follow.

1. Easy Teaching Tools: I love this one because she has some really great teaching ideas on her posts, but it's her videos that I love watching. They crack me up! She has a great sense of humor and is always willing to do silly things.

2. Teaching in Room 6: This is my go-to for curriculum inspiration, especially for social studies. She provides so many engaging activities that go beyond paper and pencil. She is very student-centered and finds innovative ways to teach.

3. Hello Fifth: I follow Hello Fifth for her awesome flexible seating options and classroom decor. She has a very clean sense of style that makes her classroom organized and cute. She also has some great resources that I love to use.

4. Elementary Shenanigans: When I'm looking for ways to engage my students and make my classroom a place the students beg to come to, I look to this one. Hope King also wrote a book with her husband called Wild Card*, which I'm currently reading. She really pushes you beyond your comfort zone and encourages wild, crazy things that will truly engage your students in the learning process.

5. Teach Create Motivate: I love getting ideas from this Instagramer because she creates some fun and colorful resources that I love using in my classroom. She also has so many great decor and organizational ideas. As I scroll through my feed on Instagram, I always stop and look at her stuff.
