A Step-by-Step Guide to Make Sense of Instagram
We’re Danni and Ané, and our journey began with a simple realization: our parents, much like many others in their golden years, were curious about Instagram but found its intricacies somewhat baffling. Questions like 'How do I post a video?' or 'What on earth is a reel?' were our weekly homework, given to us by the very people who've mastered the art of patience—our parents.
This sparked a thought: Are we taking our Instagram knowledge for granted?
After a bit of digging, the answer was clear: YES. Many seniors are intrigued by Instagram, eager to dive in but held back by the lack of guidance tailored to them. Their stories, rich with decades of experiences, are waiting to be shared on this vibrant platform, yet the bridge between curiosity and digital savviness seems a tad too far.
That's where we come in.
Our course isn't just about teaching you to use Instagram; it's about empowering you to share your unique perspective with the world, to learn something new, and perhaps, to even surprise your loved ones (and yourself) with your digital creativity.

Here's what often holds people back, and how we address it:
- "I don’t have time for a course." Our lessons are bite-sized, and designed to fit into even the busiest of schedules. Most are under 4 minutes, allowing you to learn at your own pace, on your own time.
- "I’ll feel out of depth with such young teachers." We've tailored each lesson with you in mind, ensuring everything is clear, straightforward, and jargon-free. Plus, we like to think we're old souls, which helps!
- "I don’t think I can truly learn anything through a computer screen." Our course is designed for practical, real-world application. Each module includes an assignment to apply what you've learned, fostering a hands-on learning experience that transcends the digital barrier.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to:
Navigate Instagram with ease and confidence.
Practice in a safe space, with us guiding you every step of the way.
Engage meaningfully with family, friends, and the global community.
Join a supportive community of peers embarking on the same digital journey.
