Memes in the Classroom for Engagement and Learning
WHAT DO YOU MEME?
Faculty Focus | December 12, 2018 | Marc Reyes, Kristi Kaeppel, and Emma Bjorngard-Basayne
It comes as no surprise that the way we consume information is changing. Increasingly, we are moving from text-based forms of information to visual ones, as evidenced by the popularity of visual social media sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest. Not all of these visual forms are vacuous as we might be inclined to think. Memes and GIFs, for example, are more than just a way to pass the time while we wait in line—they often offer sharp political and social commentary that functions as a coping mechanism for living in absurd modern times. Rather than see these forms of visual media as leisure-time pleasures, we believe they hold potential to engage students in class and provide another vehicle by which to demonstrate concepts and communicate with each other.
Memes and GIFs are Icebreakers and Check-Ins
One of the ways we’ve successfully used visual media is as an alternative to the awkward first day of class introductions that can be so nerve-wracking for some that they may feel as if they’re hyperventilating.
Emma has her students find a GIF /meme online that they feel shows their personality or current mood and has them copy and paste it into a Google Slide or Doc before the initial class meeting. Then on the first day, she projects the images and students get into small groups to discuss why they picked those particular GIFs/memes. Not only do students seem to connect with each other faster with this technique, the humor of the GIFs/memes appear to reduce anxiety and create a lighthearted, comfortable classroom environment. Some students remarked that seeing the GIFs/memes before the first day of class made them feel excited to meet their classmates.
A student felt this GIF demonstrated how he felt about taking classes during summer session.
GIFs can also be used to convey how students are feeling about new material in a way that may be more honest than a verbal response. Ask students to find a photo, GIF, or meme that describes their feeling about a new course concept. If the majority of students are using memes that show confused or overwhelmed faces, it may be time to review.
Memes and Gifs As Ways to Explore Society and Culture
The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words might be an understatement for memes and GIFs that have an uncanny way of encapsulating social controversies. As a way to begin to explore the cultural commentary around a topic, have students find instances of memes, GIFs, or other images that deal with the subject and analyze the underlying subtext of each. In our experience, this leads to a rich discussion and connects course content to current events.
For example, the use of black people in popular GIFs also provides an entry point into serious discussion of the appropriation of black culture by white people, a concept known as digital blackface (Stark, 2018). Is the control of black individuals’ words, actions, and body a cyberspace version of a minstrel show? Are reaction GIFs of black people supposed to generate serious dialogue or are they being used solely for laughs? In these instances, a gif allows deeper conversations around race, culture, media representations, and the work produced by non-white bodies.
To Demonstrate Course Concepts
Moving up Bloom’s taxonomy from analyze to create, students can make their own GIFs and memes to demonstrate understanding of a course concept. This activity can be used in class as an informal and fun assessment technique. For example, the meme featured here has the character of Dawson Leery from the 90s show Dawson’s Creek crying.
A student could choose such an image to demonstrate their understanding of the meaning of toxic masculinity in which showing emotion is thought to be unmanly. Much like the art of summarizing, encapsulating a meme into an image with a pithy comment is a challenging, creative task. Meme and gif generating websites like makeameme.com make this process easy. Students can choose from a variety of existing photos or upload their own.
We believe that GIFs and memes foster connections to students and signal that we are willing to value the ways they regularly communicate. We clearly see a value in them as we use them daily when texting and tweeting, so why not leverage their popularity in class? For students anxious about classes, a familiar meme or gif can put them at ease, make them smile, and even affirm their identities and create a sense of belonging by referencing a piece of media they can relate to.
We encourage instructors to try using GIFs and memes in just one activity. If it goes well, consider using them more frequently, such as a way for students to get to know each other, explore societal issues and the surrounding commentary, and to demonstrate course concepts. You have a potentially powerful new teaching tool literally at your fingertips, so put it to use! We would love to hear what you tried, how it worked, and share ideas about digital pedagogy.

I love memes and enjoy sharing them on Facebook, Twitter or even emailing them to friends and coworkers. But until several years ago, it never occurred to me to use a meme generator, a fun communication tool, in the classroom.
For those who aren’t familiar with them, memes (pronounced meemz) are a cultural element or system of behavior that is passed from one individual to another. These days, however, they've come to be known as those images with a a bold quote, sentiment or saying. They are a vehicle to express commentary on a phenomenon or a relatable event and are shared on social media to capture attention or elicit a quick laugh.
During the inauguration of President Biden, a picture of Sen. Bernie Sanders wearing large mittens and sitting alone on a chair with a morose expression on his face was quickly turned into thousands of different memes that place his image against all sorts of historical, geographical and cultural backgrounds.
It created a unifying topic of humor.
One night while working hard on my lesson plans, my 14-year-old son decided to poke fun at me by sending me a text with the following meme that he created:
I had to laugh because it was so true. And in that moment, I had an epiphany. What if I asked my students to create math-themed memes? The next day I set out the criteria for The Math Meme Project:
I told them to use one of the many meme-creation tools available to make their original meme. To get the ball rolling, I gave my students a handout with a few examples of math memes that had been published on the internet. Other than that, I didn't give them much direction because I wanted them to figure it out on their own.
Most students already had meme-making apps on their phones, but some students found a few websites online to create their submissions. The students were able to create these memes without any guidance from me.
If your students are younger, you may need to guide them through the process. The task of creating memes is simple once you find the right tool. Meme-creation apps are easy to find for laptops, tablets or smartphones. Search “meme-creation program” in the Apple App Store, Google Play or on your laptop, and many options will come up, including Meme Creator, Meme Generator and Quick Meme.
It’s important to preview any meme program before assigning it to the students to avoid fees or inappropriate content. Most meme-creation programs are free but some charge a small fee for an ad-free version.
Also, some meme-creation programs show other users’ creations, some of which may be intended for a mature audience. Review the meme-creation homepage before inviting the students to the site. It might be best to avoid the webpage all together and just download the app onto devices before the lesson.
By the time the due date arrived, I was delighted to find 38 students had turned in more than 100 memes! And I was struck with a revelation: Memes are a great educational device for teachers and students alike to promote clarity, pedagogy and humor.
I was so proud of my students’ creations that I handpicked the best of them and included them — along with my son’s and a few of my own — in a video that I posted on my YouTube channel and shared it with my students.
The Math Meme Project video became a hit and has been viewed thousands of times by people all over the world, including the U.S., Philippines, Hong Kong, South Africa, Malaysia, Australia, Austria, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Mexico, Canada, India, Honduras, Tunisia, Brazil, Germany, Turkey, Czech Republic, Philippines, Finland, Spain, Qatar, Romania, Begium and Indonesia.
I used the same project the following year as an extra credit opportunity with my math students. To introduce the project, I showed my classes the video from the previous year and encouraged them to create their own memes. As a result, I received almost twice the submissions as the year before. However, I ran into new problems with Math Meme Project 2017 video, namely having to be more selective to keep the video from being too long and to remove those that had political leanings.
This project has inspired other teachers to replicate this project with their classes. Bernadette Bogacki, a math teacher at Washington Township High School in Sewell, New Jersey, tried it with her Algebra 2 and pre-calculus students. She said the students enjoyed being able to think about math in a fun and imaginative way. “It helped to make the concepts more accessible in their minds — less stressful in a way. They really enjoyed collaborating with each other, sharing ideas and laughing in the process.”
Here are some ways you can use memes in your classroom.
Make a meme for each rule and post them in the classroom. As an alternative ice-breaking activity on the first day of school, ask students to create their own memes based on the rules and share the best ones with the class or post on the bulletin board.
Students can create memes to define or use new vocabulary. Display the word at the top, and place the definition or a sentence using the word below.
Students can use memes to dramatize a point from a novel or short story they are studying. Teachers can break the class into groups and have each group create a meme from assigned chapters in a class novel.
Teachers and/or students can import an image into a meme-creation program and make their own meme with a witty subtitle.
Students can also create memes as a way to review the material or to explain math formulas or science concepts.
Aside from being a fun and novel way to get student engaged in content, these assignments can address the Creative Communicator standard, part of the ISTE Standards for Students, which expects students to communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, styles, formats and digital media appropriate to their goals.
Memes can also allow student to share messages around the topics they are passionate about to muster support for social justice issues, which is one of the five digital citizenship competencies of the DigCitCommit initiative.

Use the power of pop culture to promote learning in your classroom.
We Are Teachers | Elizabeth Mulvahill | December 20, 2019
Humor (well, appropriate humor!) in the classroom is always a great idea. That’s why memes are such a fun and engaging tool to promote learning. They’re a fun and easy way to capture students’ attention and can be used for assignments as an alternative outlet for creative expression.
Creating memes is a fairly simple process. Here are a few tools you can use: Livememe, Quickmeme,Meme Generator and AutoMotivator. (A word of caution: These sites have images preloaded that may not be appropriate for your grade level. Be sure to check them out before you let your students loose.)
Also, sometimes memes cross the line from hilarious to snarky and irreverent in a quick beat. If you choose to assign your students meme creation as a class assignment, be sure to make your expectations clear from the get-go. For example, no foul language, no sexual references, no (implied) cultural insensitivity.
Here are seven ways to engage your students with memes in the classroom.
Using humor to remind students of classroom rules is more effective and less threatening than constant verbal reminders. And wouldn’t you rather get your point across with a chuckle than an eye roll and a huffy breath?
Combine grammar rules with funny images to help students remember them better.
To build vocabulary
Let your students have a crack at illustrating words on their vocabulary list with memes. It allows for much more creative thinking. Students will have to understand the word fully before they can match it to an image. Also, memes are much less boring than your standard vocabulary worksheet.
Assign students to small groups and have each group create a meme to summarize a section of the class novel (or a set of chapters from the class novel).
Here’s how one teacher used memes for an assignment when her students were reading Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Engage your students in a topic before you even begin by creating and displaying an intriguing meme to catch their attention as they walk into the classroom.
Make history lessons relevant by putting a modern twist on your students’ method of expression. Click on the link above to read more about “the power that memes have to foster storytellers and connect students with experiences and individuals from the past.”
Most students would be hard-pressed to find the humor in mathematics, but memes lighten up the topic and put students in a creative frame of mind to find solutions.

While memes and GIFs (pronounced “gif or “jiff”) often get lumped together as one and the same, technically they are slightly different. GIFs are animated images. While they have movement, they are not long video segments and more like the flipbooks you may have played with as a child. They don’t have any sound and often repeat themselves (much like the boomerang feature on Instagram).
Memes, on the other hand, are images embellished with text. They often relate to current events or social ideas. They can also be a block of text with no image attached, or they can have movement like a GIF does. So why can these moving images and text be effective in the classroom?
Memes and GIFs can be an effective tool to use in the classroom for many reasons. For starters, GIFs and memes are a language students already speak. Imagine their surprise the first time the teacher uses one during instruction! Using memes and GIFs are sure to grab students attention, help them stay focused, and even add some lightheartedness to lessons. They are another way to get students to respond to discussion questions or to help the teacher better understand how they feel about a particular topic. Below are some additional ways to use memes and GIFs as classroom tools.
A simple and entertaining way to use memes and GIFs in the classroom is for icebreakers. Pose a question to the students and have them choose a GIF or meme that would best represent their answer. “How was your weekend?” or “Use a GIF to show how you feel about our next science topic on plants.” Students will get a kick out of choosing a GIF and seeing their classmates’ responses.
Whether the GIF demonstrates joy, shock, or surprise, it can perfectly encompass how students feel in a less awkward way than putting it into words. Additionally, it will provide you with enlightening feedback. Someone had a terrible weekend? Best to check in with that student later. Nobody seems excited to learn about plants? How can you make the first few lessons more exciting to spark interest?
In English language arts, there are many ways to use GIFs and memes. When learning vocabulary words, have students write the definition and then add a GIF or meme that would best match that definition (good examples would include: exacerbant, infuriated, or disappointed). This creates a visual for the word and adds some flair to a normally tedious activity. Just finished a read-a-loud or a book study? Have students post a GIF or meme to reflect on the book, or create a journal of GIFs after every chapter to see how the book evolves.
GIFs and memes can help students when it comes to exploring society and culture. When political events are unfolding, have students search for GIFs and reflect on the ones they find. Teachers could even have their students research the history behind the GIFs they find (think Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump).
Searching for GIFs that positively or negatively portray a particular culture can also be a beneficial learning experience for students. How does the media portray white people, Black people, Christians, Muslims, etc.? Are there any underlying themes in the GIFs they find? Taking a look at GIFs or memes that were created can bring up some interesting conversations.
Piggy-backing off the use of GIFs and memes during political events, in general, GIFs are being extensively used for political and social commentary. Tumblr hosted a live #GIFOFF during the 2012 presidential election. The GIFs then transformed into memes that swept across social media and, in turn, influenced the narrative of the election. This topic can segway into educating students on digital citizenship and reminding them that their digital footprint is a permanent one StoryTelling in the GIF economy.
The way the world consumes information is continuing to evolve. Text-based forms of delivering information are transforming into visual ones as students and adults alike are using animated images and slogans in the form of GIFs and memes to more effectively get their viewpoints and feelings across. GIFs and memes are a way for educators to bring excitement to classrooms in a language students speak and feel comfortable using.
