Stop Motion

Amazing class tonight! Using only the iPad app, iStopMotion, students learned to create comprehensive stop motion videos.  We used this one-stop application (which combines a camera, sound, animation and speed variables) to produce a video. This stop motion animation technique - which once was a very difficult and time consuming process - now takes only minutes to see the results …. and is great fun!  Check out a few samples from our class below!

iStopMotion is a wonderful app to use for school projects.  I highly recommend its use as a visual alternative to book reports, biographies, demonstrating science experiments, and portraying historical events.  Technology, when used appropriately, can be a wonderful tool to be innovative!  I encourage you to urge your child(ren) to engage in this type of creativity and critical thinking when they are given the opportunity to demonstrate learning!
