Students engagement in their learning process drives better performance and higher information retention. The use of Instagram in the classroom has revealed as a new tool to boost engagement and facilitate learning. Instagram differentiates from other social media for prioritizing visual content, in particular photos and videos. Because it is very popular with the younger generation -- 71% of its active users are under the age of 35 - it is an engaging platform that can be leveraged for education. In this note, we show how to use Instagram's large set of features to create engaging and interactive content ito pair with the standard coursework both inside and outside the classroom. We provide several possible integrations with course material, we list the best practices for the use of Instagram in education, highlight some of the potential problems of the medium, and give advice on how to mitigate them.
