So as a part of this Jobfind CDEP Multi Media project we recently launched our own Instagram account.
From Wikipedia:
"Instagram is a free photo-sharing program and social network that was launched in October 2010. The service allows users to take a photo, apply a digital filter to it, and then share it with other Instagram users they are connected to on the social network as well as on a variety of social networking services”
In short it’s like Twitter but for photos.
Here are the pictures we have on our feed so far, in order from the first we put up, right down to the last (so far),
the photos are taken by participants and the people working alongside them as part of the learning and documentation process of the project.. enjoy and please follow us on instagram, our username is: @cdepgroote
P.s
If you don’t happen to have Instagram on your phone and are interested to check on whats going up on there, please click the Instagram link at the top of the page to be taken to the feed…
