Animations+and+Graphics

=Welcome to Animations and Graphics!=

This particular page is **sites** and **pictures** (jpegs and gifs) and **YouTube** clips that I have come across. I found that rewarding students with an animation towards the end of a lesson in a youtube clip or integrating gifs into the class added humour and some students related to me as a teacher.

I had to research particular words (also addressed in references) that I integrated into classes. //Interestingly a number of tumblrs dedicated to gifs are heavily contributed to by high school students.// (example: [] (look at user laynicorns)) I found that many students express themselves through the internet in this way.

This page has links to sites that are databases of Animation regarding ICT and humour, and there are some particular gifs that I reference regularly that I thought I would put up here for quicker access.

(Personally I have a disposition towards gifs. Their constant repetitive hypnotic loop always makes me sit down and watch it one more time.//I used them a little in semester 1, but really enjoy using them in the classroom: students really enjoy the idea of gifs and appreciate the humour behind most of them//.)

[] - (Used one of these for the class on Data Collection and user terms and conditions, but some have potential for future classes) [] - a website relating to students who relate to the humour behind IT, science and maths. Kind of high brow but some students do relate to it, and find the relation to the subject.
 * Websites for ICT related humour pictures**

[] -Used this at the end of the Excel Class to explain the concept of graphs (and cool art stuff that can be done with it) [] - Found this one I could use in the future (Excel mathematical art) [] - to relate to the terms and conditions part of Data Collection lesson (funny w/ links to apple and their legal req's.)
 * Youtube Links**

//[] - example of a file being edited slightly over the course of 100 or so saves and the degredation of data// //[] - Example of Lossy pictures as opposed to lossless pictures// //[|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOTBWlt0-Y0]- Funny skit on office conflict escalating.// //[] - Humourous relation to conflict causes. From The Office//

 * My personal Favorite sites for gifs and material**
 * (for ICT, but also good for class reactions)**

[] (used in two classes - one when telling the year 12's to get ready to do this with RDBMS's and with the year 7's on entering Excel information) [] (Found this when a student pretended to flip over a table after not understanding RDBMS's and other students found it funny) [] (Striking up a rapport with the year 7 class, I said I'd do this with anyone that's not listening. They laughed and we moved on.) //[]// //(used this to mature students to explain computer rage at frustrating details)//
 * Personal Favorite Gifs that I found a way to integrate with the class.**
