My inspiration and thoughts for this post came from Twitter. The GIFs below were tweeted @OneNoteC. The one on the left was created by @PaphitisN. It is a simple how-to but it got me thinking. Students could create their own GIF's with the same ideas in mind. They can use screenshots, pictures, video, words, to simplify and summarize important information. After all a GIF can only be 15 seconds max, so students would need to be able to simplify and explain within that time frame.
Topics for Gif's
1. Explaining Steps- Steps to completing a math problem, process in science or writing
2. Timeline- create a timeline of events 3. How-To - show how they completed something or a finished piece of work 4. Description- use GIF's to describe vocabulary terms, a book, article, concept 5. Plot Diagram- students could create an image for each part of a plot diagram, and then create a GIF showing the transitions. 6. Summarize- using pictures and text students can summarize content 7. Vocabulary- students can use pieces of video or images to explain vocabulary terms in a non-linguistic manner How to Make a GIF
Here is a quick GIF that I made on "How to Make a GIF." It is pretty simple.
1. Students need to first come up with their process or explanation. ' 2. Make a series of images or text explaining the content. 3. Screenshot or use the snipping tool to take images of the steps. 4. Then upload them at https://giphy.com/create/gifmaker. 5. They will have options to set the timing for each picture, add stickers or captions, and then upload it to the site. 6. After it is uploaded they can copy that URL and submit it. In my school's case, they could turn it into the collaboration space on OneNote to share with their peers. Classroom Example
What other ways can you see students creating GIFs to showing knowledge of a subject?
