An introduction to Instagram for a Session With Antony Carpen

1. Introduction to
Instagram
Making images work for your social
media presence.

2. What is instagram?
• Instagram is a way of sharing pictures, photos,
and video.
• Available for Android, iOS and Window’s
phones.
• There are also third party applications that
enable you to use Instagram on Blackberry
and Nokia devices.

3. What is Instagram continued…
• Instagram has a style similar to twitter, or
facebook.
• Your network’s updates are presented in a list but
rather than text updates you use visual media
with a caption to communicate with others.
• In addition, you can very easily share updates
(Yours or others) to other social network
platforms.
• Instagram is smartphone and tablet based with a
website you can browse but you cannot post
updates or sign up via a computer.

4. Why would you want to use it?
• Instagram is a fun, quirky and innovative way
to share your world with your community.
• It’s much more than just photos of cats and
your breakfast.

5. So, how do you sign up?
• First you need to go to the application store
for your type of phone.
• Then download the instagram app and install
it.
• Enter the application and follow the
instructions to make a new account.
• Remember to make your username something
you can easily remember, but make sure you
make your password secure.

6. So now you have
Instagram
• Now you have
an instagram
account you can
use the explore
tab to view by
tags or search
for users if you
know
usernames you
want to follow.

7. Finding friends
• You can then find
friends through your
email address under
options (three dots at
the top on android)
• You can also link your
other social media
accounts this way
too.

8. So now what?
• Now you make your own narrative, you make
your own photo agenda.
