Episode 121: 3 Reasons Why You Should Start Your Own Instagram Account At School
I want to tell you something about myself. I am not a fan of social media.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I can definitely zone out while scrolling through reels on Instagram.
The algorithm will always keep sending me videos of dachshunds, basketball highlights, drone shots of the boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ and clips of my favorite stand up comedians: Nate Bargatze, Sebastian Maniscalco and Jim Gaffigan.
I’m just not a fan of how social media makes people feel. A lot of comparison is happening when we see others taking that cool vacation, wearing that new outfit, driving that new car, or posting pics of their latest trendy home decor.
Also, everyone is mad about something and the comments section is to be avoided like the plague
So, if I don’t like social media, why am I doing an episode about why you should start a school Instagram account if you don’t already have one?
Well, I will admit that I have my work cut out for me today. But, I feel strongly that this is something really, really important for you to do as a school leader. On today’s episode of The Private School Leader Podcast, I am going to give you 3 Reasons Why You Should Start Your Own Instagram Account At School.
Thank you for listening to the podcast every week. You are making a difference in the lives of the students, teachers and parents at your school. I know that what you do is difficult, exhausting and lonely. Your hard work inspires me to keep making weekly content to try to encourage and inspire you as you serve your school.
Thanks for all you do,
Mark Minkus
