The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a lossless computer file for images that supports both animated and static images and has become available in various digital cameras and at many websites.
In fact, a GIF is a bitmap image format that was initially used as a medium for sharing scenes from an Olympics and now it used on Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as well as in on the web and sprites through software programs which support a variety of colors and various resolutions.
For classroom instruction, as one draws the diagram or any other line drawing, he or she keeps on clicking pictures from a mounted still camera and then subjects the frames to GIF software which has become available in many digital cameras.
I have been using successive drawing GIFs for classroom instruction as in illustrated in the inset example in which starting from letter 'V', a bird has been drawn as a line drawing.
