A couple of days ago I posted about making GIFs with Google Slides. If you haven't checked out that post, it's a very easy process of using a slide deck like a digital flipbook -- create an image or scene, duplicate the slide and move something just a bit, and repeat until you have created all your images. Then use a second tool to export it to a GIF. My students did this as a culminating activity at the end of last school year. Many students enjoyed the project and their results were terrific.
When we completed this project in May, my students actually used Keynote because students use MacBooks as part of our 1:1 initiative. With Keynote, creating a GIF is even easier. The slides creation part of the project is the same. Make slides, duplicate them, move images and repeat.
Here are some screenshots to show how to export to GIF in Keynote.
Go to File and drag down to Export To. Select Animated GIF.
Choose the slides you want to export and the speed of the frames. Experiment here to get it to look just the way you like. Click Next.
Then name your GIF and save it. Once you have it saved, you can use it anywhere you would use an image.
Give this a try. It couldn't be easier!
