It's easy to pull in your own video, find one on YouTube, or record your screen and then use the built-in editing tools to trim the video, add text or images, and share. Kids can give feedback on a lesson or activity with their own tailored GIF response. Teachers can liven up class materials with student-made GIFs or their own creations. GIFs are fun to create, and as students tinker with the design choices, they'll get to think critically about visual effects and messaging. Try using a GIF-creation app to energize class content, encourage creativity, or put a new spin on assessments. GIFs are typically used to express a humorous reaction or feeling. A GIF (which stands for 'graphic interchange format') is a digital image file that contains multiple frames so viewers see a quick animation, often accompanied by playful text or images. And it's no wonder: Like emojis or memes, they're a fun way to add a little humor and creativity to our daily communications. It seems like GIFs are everywhere these days, from social media feeds and emails to group texts.
