Memes are a pervasive, dynamic part of digital communication … and they can be a powerful instructional tool, engaging students through humor and relevance. Through meme-creation learning activities, memes can also empower students to share their voices in class and the digital world. This session features an award-winning educator and student duo who have used memes throughout their personal, professional, and educational lives. This hands-on session will help educators understand what memes are, why they are powerful tools for teaching and learning, and how to make three forms of image- and gif-based memes. Plus, attendees will receive access to resources and adaptable lesson ideas to start applying their new knowledge about memes right away!
