Valentine's Banners!

I am a little late posting these, but I have made two Valentine's Day animated themes for Google Classroom! I am pretty excited that when I went to write this, I saw that I already sold one!

If you are unfamiliar with how to use animated Google themes and how to use them, you can check out my blog post showing you HERE!

How to Use Animated Banners for Google Classroom

I have been debating what I wanted my first post to be about and finally landed on Google Classroom Themes/Banners. Thank you if you are reading this, as this blog is definitely a work in progress, but I want to help other teachers learn some of the things that made technology work for me as a teacher.

Google Customization

When I first started using Google Classroom, I wasn't really focused on customization yet and making it pretty. I was more focused on learning how to make it work for my classroom.

The truth is, making your Classroom look special does not take much effort! You have probably figured out how to change the "theme" of your classroom by clicking the "select theme" button on the picture:

THIS BUTTON HERE!

Google has some very nice looking images, but for some, they are too generic and you want something that is more "you." For those people, there is a great "upload image" option. The problem I always had was finding the right size image, which needs to be 800 pixels by 200 pixels. I started creating images to fit my needs.

Animated Themes

As I was searching for premade themes I saw that some people were using GIFs as their image for their classroom theme to have animated themes! Of course, I jumped on it...

Using a GIF is JUST AS EASY as using a regular image. You simply upload the file the way you would any other image. See?

You can create your own GIFs to use, or find them online. If you like the banner I used in the demo, you can get it here in my store for free! Don't forget to look at some of the other themes/banners I have created too!
