Everything you need to know about using Instagram
This document includes information on what to post, how to store your posts, and how to get approval. It also explains how to use hashtags, LinkinBio, Adobe Express, Canva, and Instagram story functions.
(If you have not yet done so) go to the Google Drive and make a document for the current semester.
Please be sure to name the document clearly! For example: "[Your First & Last Name] [Current Semester] Instagram Post Drafts"
Please also use a pageless layout for the document: click file in the top-left corner, then page setup near the bottom of that menu, and click pageless.
On the Google Document, create a graphic and a short caption (less than 100 words).
Send a LINK to your document to Dr. Weber (edweber@uic.edu) and LCLC staff (lclc@uic.edu) for review.
Once your draft is reviewed, make any necessary additions or changes and send the document to Dr. Weber & LCLC again.
Once your post is approved, you will post it on the peer tutoring Instagram (@lclc_peer_tutoring).
(For Fall 2025): Please create your document and posts in this folder.
Please include your name and the current semester in the title of your document. For example: "[Your name] Fall 2025 Instagram Post Drafts"
