Animated GIFs are a great way to share instructional knowledge and tutorials. Animated GIFs can be used for a wide variety of educational purposes: For instance, you can use them to help your students understand a complex topic, walk them through a step-by-step process of solving an equation, give feedback on students work, or you can use them to share instructions on how to use a particular educational tool.
Animated GIFs are now popular especially in social media platforms but you can embed your animated GIFs anywhere on the web. You upload them to your Class website or YouTube channel, email them or share them using unique ULRs.
