Once upon a time, memes were used to make people laugh and embarrass celebrities like Michael Jordan. But memes can be used to teach too. In this story, I show how to use memes to teach a content creation principle: the importance of templates.

All of the memes you see in this story were created in a matter of minutes using an online service called Imgflip. I have the Imgflip Pro Basic plan which costs me a whopping $3.95/month. This allows me to remove the watermark for Imgflip.
