- A way to share photos and videos (3-15 seconds) with the world
- A huge way to share experiences within the school
- Another great tool for promoting and gaining awareness
- These next several slides will explain how to find, install and use Instagram.
- We suggest that you take out your phone and follow these steps in order to have a better understanding of this great application.
Finding Instagram:
Open your app store on your mobile phone
Search and Install
Use the search tool to find and install “Instagram”
This button will say Free or Install (or may have a small cloud), after clicking twice and waiting a minute or two, you will receive a message asking if you would like to open the program, click Yes. If this message doesn’t appear, go to your phone's home page and search for the Instagram icon (which is on the top left of this picture) and click to open.
Logging In
After the opening, a login page will appear, click “Log In”
Type in “abc123” as the username
Type “********” as the password
Home Page
These pictures are arranged chronologically, the most recent upload will be on top.
As you scroll down, you will begin to see text underneath these photos.
Home Page (Content)
This text comments about the picture, made by either the user or their followers.
Underneath the photo and all of its comments, you can choose to either.
“Like” (the photo)
“comment” (on the photo or respond to another comment)
“3 Dot baton” (let's click here)
The “3 Dot baton” Page
- If you find the picture offensive or graphic.
- Sorry, but we have been unable to connect you to "Facebook" because we don’t have Facebook login credentials.
- Post a link on your "Twitter", if you’d like your Twitter followers to see this image.
- Copy the "URL/link" onto your phone’s clipboard which allows pasting into any document.
- For now, let's click cancel.
Home page to Explore Page
From your home page, notice that the little house is brighter than all other icons. Click on the next icon in the lower panel to reach your Explore Page (circled green).
On your Explore Page, you can search for any Instagram User or any Hashtags someone else has used when posting pictures.
Photos will show exactly like this to the right.
This is the best method to find cool pictures and people to follow. Try searching a random hashtag and see what comes up.
Following and News
- Your Following feed, (click on Following) displays actions done by the people you follow, in other words, if someone you follow likes a picture or begins to follow someone else, it will show here.
- Your News feed displays recent actions that affect you, such as: people following you, liking your posts and commenting on your pictures.
- Now head to your Following and like/love and News page by clicking on.
Your Profile
To get to your profile, click the icon circled red. Our group used the account to help promote our school supply drive (the two photos on your profile).
As you can see (green circles) you already have 8 followers and are following 3 other accounts.
Your profile picture is on the top left, if you would like to change it, just click on the picture and it will give you the option to import from Facebook (again this feature is currently unavailable) or Twitter, take a new photo or choose from your phone’s library.
Taking Photos
Now hit the center icon on the bottom panel
This button will bring you to Camera mode...
Camera Mode
On the top left, the “a” will bring you to the previous screen (try this and then come back to the camera mode).
The top center button will reverse the camera (try this as well).
The top right button is the flash settings, you can toggle through: no flash, always flash and automatic flash (try this).
Photo Editing
Top left arrow will bring you back to the camera mode (it will not save the photo you have taken)
Top Right will bring you straight to the sharing page, but first...
The bottom pictures of hot air balloons are actually different tints that will alter the colors of the photo. You can scroll and click through the various tints to see how they will change the picture.
Photo Editing Cont.
The icon in green will change the angle of the photo
The teardrop icon in blue is a way to blur the picture in a linear or circular manner (using two fingers in a inward or outward motion on the screen to adjust the blur)
The sun icon in red is a way to darken or brighten the photo.
Share to
- Always share to your followers, direct sharing would privately send a photo to one of your followers.
- When writing a caption, make sure to use hashtags (which will be described in a later slide)
- Tag People is the same as Facebook tagging someone.
- Add to Photo Map will locate where you upload the photo and place a marker on a map that will display any photo you decide to map.
- It would also be good to share the Instagram photos on the twitter account by clicking on the twitter button.
- After all of this, you are ready to share your photos with the world…
- But first, let's also learn how to take a video!
Camera Mode
Let's take a video by clicking on the small video camera on the bottom right of the screen.
Video Mode
You should recognize that two of the top icons are the same as in camera mode, the next button will be used after filming.
The bottom left will bring you back into camera mode and the bottom left will bring you to your phone’s library of videos.
You must press and hold the red button in the center to record a video (try this)
Video Mode Cont.
As you film, you will see the blue meter fill up.
Try this: Let go of the red button when taking a video and then press it again to begin recording once more. You will notice a cut in the blue line.
Now you have the ability to delete the latest portion of the video and record again by using this bottom left function ::Try this as well::
Click next on the top right after trying both.
Video Mode (Filter)
Just like in camera mode, you are now able to choose a tint you would like to make your video.
Remember this is optional, not necessary!
Click next once you’ve decided whether or not to add a tint.
Video Mode (Cover)
The final touch is deciding what to make the Cover Frame.
Use the box on the bottom to scroll through your video and choose whatever frame you want people to see when they are scrolling through their own homepage.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t change the video at all.
Once you’ve decided, you can click Next. That will then bring you to a Share To page just like the one explained in Camera Mode.
Instagram Actions
All photos/videos uploaded on Instagram are automatically posted on the @amnaimulhasan Twitter account (we are also working on connecting this account to Facebook, we just need the credentials)
“Like”-If you find a photo/video that appeals to you, feel free to “like” it, your followers will then be able to see what photos you have “liked”
Hashtags - #
The “#” symbol is used to turn a word or phrase into a clickable link that will bring the user to posts that contain the same “has tagged” phrase. For example, if you added, “#amnaimulhasan” to the end of a post, clicking it will bring you to other posts that contain the same “hashtag”.
Using Hashtags
- Hashtags can be used on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
- We advise you to add as many hashtags as you see fit to the end of most of your posts
- This will allow people not yet connected to the MJCC to see your pages when they click something that you have also has tagged
Example Hashtags
This is what a post containing multiple hashtags may look like. Note that the hashtag must precede a single word, or a collection of words together without spaces. The hashtag will only link the word directly following it.
Linking Other Pages- The Use of “@”
Using “@” symbol is similar to using a hashtag. Unlike the “#” symbol which links words or phrases, the “@” symbol will link to somebody else’s page. This is useful for notifying someone if your post relates to them, or if you think they might be interested in your post.
“@” Example
Note that like when using a “#”, what follows the “@” must be a single word, or a collection of words without spaces.
What to Post?
Anything! You should post news and photos as frequently as you can. General announcements as well will keep your followers informed and updated on everything you wish to share with them.
Promoting These Pages
Be sure to tell everyone to:
- “Like” you on Facebook
- “Follow” you on Twitter
