I was looking for a way to give students a quick visual reference that would pop up in a social media account, show up in Canvas, and be something they could keep for long term reference (i.e. a good life lesson kind of thing). Instagram provides a platform for this. If a student follows the account, he or she sees the update, and can view it in Canvas or keep it for long-term reference. The trick is to embed the image in Canvas. We do that with a relatively simple iframe code.<\/p>\n

Open a page or assignment in the text view and paste in this code:<\/p>\n

<p><iframe src=”\/\/instagram.com\/p\/______________\/embed\/” width=”612″ height=”710″><\/iframe><\/p><\/em><\/p>\n

Then, go to the Instagram post, and look at the URL. It will have a \/p\/<\/em> followed by a series of letters followed by another \/<\/em>. Copy that code. For example:<\/p>\n

\"Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Copy zY3M3goSt9<\/em> and paste into your code between the two \/s.<\/p>\n

Final result will be something like this:<\/p>\n

<p><iframe src=”\/\/instagram.com\/p\/zY3M3goSt9\/embed\/” width=”612″ height=”710″><\/iframe><\/p><\/em><\/p>\n

Then save the page and publish in Canvas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
