Animation is the use of computer to create movement of objects by displaying a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. It can be created using analogue media like flip books or digital media like animated GIFs and flash. There are different types of animation including frame animation which makes framed objects move on screen and morphing which transitions between shapes. Animation is important for education as it makes e-books and concepts more interesting and informative by reducing boredom and illustrating processes through motion.
