Hi Cristhian-
Well every post encourages students to get involved and leave a comment using the vocabulary, grammar, etc.. and this allows for some feedback. This is one way to check understanding. This is also a supplement to learning, it will take more than just reading a post (ie: students must apply what they're learning and put it to use). I am not sure what you mean by useful in a class? I think it could be useful for homework, and some activities, yes- but should not substitute an entire lesson.

Olá gente!
Quem esta usando Instagram para aprender linguas? Si você não esta usando, por que?
Estou usando Instagram todo dia para ensinar inglês. Eu uso fotos, videos, e inglês naturalmente para mostrar como os nativos de inglês usam. Eu sei o contexto de os fotos/videos ajuda muito para aprender e memorizar a lingua. Estou ensinando vocabularios, gramáticas, pronúncia, e pessoas podem melhor as habilidades de escutar e ler. Se você esta usando vem para falar oi @jenESL760 ! Quero ajudar você com inglês e eu posso conectar com você para ler mais português!January 13, 201601 - Learning on Instagram
Did you know that you could be learning and improving your skills on Instagram! Are you 1 of the 400 million users on the app? AND are you using it to learn English (or any other language)?
I would love to show you the ways to learn on Instagram. I teach on the app, every day! I give examples of real English in use, and how I (a native speaker/English teacher) use English. Through this way of teaching, learners can see context and realistic application of the vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation topic that I am teaching.
I would love to help you improve your English, so come say hello - @jenESL760
If you have a question or doubt, let me know and I will create a post for you. ;)
Let me know what you think, I love giving you "outside the box" ways of learning!

- Group Conversation Class 11/04/2015 7AM(MST)
Hey everyone! What do you think about joining a group conversation class? Unfortunately, italki doesn't really provide this option, so I am trying something new! I am having a group conversation class, for up to 8 students on Wednesday, Nov 4 at 7:00AM MST). The fee is only 100ITC to join for the 1-hour group conversation class.
How does it work?
Reserve one of the available spots by purchasing/scheduling a lesson between the hours of 12:00AM-7:00AM on November 4. *NOTE: THE CLASS IS NOVEMBER 4 @7:00AM (MST), the 12:00-6:00am classes are for reserving and payment only*Thoughts? Is anyone interested? The more interest, discussion, and requests for this service, the better ... and hopefully italki will add the feature!
Let me know and I hope to see you then!

September 25, 201500 - "Forgotten" Lessons
Hey italki community, teachers, students, everyone! I'd love to open a discussion for both students and teachers in the community about something that I imagine everyone has dealt with.."forgotten lessons"
Here is the situation: a student schedules a lesson, maybe a week in advance or so, and the teacher accepts it. The teacher's time is now reserved for this one student, the teacher prepares material, and is ready at the start time of the scheduled lesson. At class start time, the teacher tries to message or call the student, and no answer. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes...and so on passes and the student never shows up, while the teacher is there at the computer ready to go.
What should happen? There seems to be a very big "gray area" (area that is not clear) on whether these lessons should be rescheduled, or confirmed.
Now, what if the situation were reversed? The student is ready at the start time, eager to learn and the teacher never shows up. Should the lesson be marked complete? Should it be rescheduled?
Personally as a teacher, I have a cancellation and rescheduling policy that is visible to anyone who reads my profile and schedules a lesson, but again, I would love to open this "controversial" topic with the community. Let's hear it! All ideas, opinions, and thoughts are open and welcome, as long as they are respectful to the community.
