This week I am sharing an old post from Meredithakers.com bout using GIFs for learning. I think students and adults can all agree that there are some funny GIFs out there. Using them for learning sounds like a fun, engaging idea. Here are a few ways Meredith shared to use GIFs for learning.

1. GIF Vocab
-Pick a vocab word
-Find a GIF
-Define the word (with reference to the GIF)
-Teach it to your class
-Have a student tweet the GIF and definition in their own words
2. Engage and Motivate with a Morning GIF to welcoem students daily.
3. Engage with Content
Websites available for educational GIFs:

I hope you will check out Meredith's post and try using GIFs in the classroom too!
