New Year, New Laws, New Memes - Keynote!

What a great way to brilliantly combine civic education with digital literacy. Cool!

Thanks Tambra - and hopefully fun too.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Cheryl. what a great idea!

I have a question that I run into.. I create animated gifs all the time, but I wish I could put them into a more shareable format.. ie.. when I try to add a gif, I go to the button on my text etc.. is there a way to store gifs for activism in such a way that other can elevate them to be shared by others? I know I can email them as a file,, but do you have suggestions for maybe using icloud or another tool to make them more readily shareable?

Hmmm - good question Theresa. What just worked for me was to export as an animated gif in Keynote, share to Photos, and then from there upload from Photos to my Google Drive (via the little share arrow at the bottom of the selected Photo/gif.) Then I can make the access in Google Drive “Anybody with the link”. If you had drop box or Box that would work too. Or if you created a shared Photos Album that would work but you’d have to share that album first with your contacts.

From the Keynote file itself you can Export as an animated Gif and then choose Google or whatever drop box you use.

You also could add your animations in a Post in this Community with a short “how to” and then send out the URL to the Post. Folks can grab them if they are signed in or not.

If others have better ways - let us know!

Hi Cheryl,

I love your post about using Keynote and memes to spark creativity! As a secondary science teacher, I can see this being a fantastic way to engage my students and make learning more fun. Thanks for sharing such an inspiring idea!

Thanks Tina! I bet your students can come up with some pretty cool scientific memes!
