Instagram is a popular teen app that promotes creativity and can have a positive impact on a student's digital footprint, so we created this Instagram setup tutorial for students. When used correctly, Instagram can drastically improve your search results, which in turn means that when used incorrectly it can have a negative impact on your search results. If students learn how to use Instagram in a positive way--and why it matters--they're less likely to have a social media incident.

Instagram Stories are incredibly popular with teens and in this video Josh shows them how to group their stories together to create case studies. Students can learn how to caption their Instagram posts in a positive way that can improve their digital footprint. In just 10 minutes, students will be able to see examples of positive Instagram profiles, how Instagram posts appear in your Google search results, and how to use Instagram so that their posts show up on the first page of Google.
