Padlet - Animation for Learning

At the start of today's session, we were asked to answer the following question, 'How do you think animations can be used to aid the learning process?'. We used a website to answer this specific question and it was called 'Padlet'. It was set out like a bit of a pinboard, you could say, which showed everybody's own answers.
My answer to this question was as follows:

'Using animation can be seen as an interesting way to learn new things, as it can keep the learner interested and focused. It also expresses an individual's own creativity and originality, when producing their own animations.'
