Greg here. I know that my better-half loves Instagram. For Becky, it's a quick way to share updates about classroom and personal life, as well as to see what is going on in the lives of all the other #teachersofinstagram.
I was recently doing some research on Instagram desktop schedulers and stumbled upon a new site: Wisel.it! A young start-up out of Venezuela, Wisel.it seems to be the real deal!

I thought I'd quickly share how I used Wisel.It the first time and explain some of it's features. You can create your own login via Wisel.It, but I opted to sign-in with Instagram to streamline my accounts.
Once you link your account to Wisel.It, the process is rather simply. Simply click "Schedule New Post" to get started.
Most of you do editing in Instagram, VSCOcam, A Beautiful Mess, or other apps that conveniently do a great job. You can still make those edits using those apps, however, you'll need to e-mail the final image to yourself to upload via desktop since Wisel.It is a desktop based tool (for now anyway!). A slight inconvenience, but well worth the benefit.
Once your image is uploaded, you simply frame the sliding box around the portion of the image you want to appear. If you shoot the image in square before exporting it to your desktop, simply select the entire image. They have several filters, and a flip option, but I suggest doing all of your edits prior to the
upload to Wisel.
upload to Wisel.
One of the cool things about this site is that you can sign in to multiple accounts (3 total). When you select the account and caption it (just like you would on your mobile device), you'll see a convenient preview on the right. Select the date and time you want to post and you're set!
Once scheduled, you will receive a notification in Instagram asking for verification because your account is being accessed elsewhere (our notification came from Finland). I was a bit skeptical at this point, but I trusted the system! It worked without flaw - it posted at the time scheduled!
If you would like to read more about Wisel.It, you can check out this blog post, which what led me to this new scheduler. So, how might this help you manage your Instagram account? Let me know what you think!
