Animate Learning with GIFs with Tony Vincent
Bring content to life through animation! You probably know how to find existing animated GIFs online, but how about creating your own? Teachers and students can create animated GIFs to grab attention, illustrate an idea, break down a process into steps, show a sequence, and make content memorable. Learn how to create your own animated GIFs about any subject with free online tools, including with Google Slides.

Participants will build community while:

• Focusing on applicable strategies
• Discuss best practices for a classroom community
• Reflecting on current practice
