Abstract: Instagram as an educational resource allows a wide variety of actions such as uploading photos, videos, audios, live broadcasting, generating texts, sharing information, promoting alternative evaluation processes that allow respecting the principles of continuous evaluation, contributing to collaborative work by promoting interactions and minimizing space and time problems, responding to different learning styles, generating universal learning designs, and promoting creativity, among other aspects. Although the use of Instagram in education is not currently widespread, many proposals can be observed which employ this social network in different ways. This paper presents the use of Instagram as an e-portfolio through a framework consisting of 4 phases. In addition, it concludes by highlighting the many benefits such as making learning more explicit for both teachers and students; helping reflection, self-knowledge, and critical spirit; promoting continuous assessment of learning or contributing to the sense of personal achievement, among others.
Keywords: E-portfolio, social networks, Instagram, education, continuous evaluation, formative evaluation.
