Whether you're Team GIF or JIF, you have to admit that animated GIFs are fun! In her blog post, Using GIFs for Learning, Meredith Akers introduced me the the #GIFvocab hashtag how students can make their own animated GIFs for communicating understanding of vocabulary. She also provides an excellent template that can be used in any content area.
As a former math teacher, "Me by the Numbers" was a regular introduction activity at the beginning of the year. We started with students taking a quiz about me that involved only number answers like my street number, shoe size, and number of cavities. After sharing the answers, students would introduce themselves using numbers that were relevant to them. This year, Ms. Cain & Ms. Trinh's 7th grade math students are creating GIFs to introduce themselves using numbers and showing their knowledge of the real number system.
Students used a provided Google Slides template and the site andtheniwaslike.co to create their projects. Since this project, I've started using the site to create my own GIFs and add a little fun to my emails, tweets, and presentations.
