We use movie maker and/or power point to animate. Updated, more professional software would be AWESOME! |
Cross-Curriculum Ideas |
The "Subject of the Lesson Plan" could be incorporated into ANY subject. I happen to teach technology classes and so software exploration and creativity are my focus. Quite often, however, students make their animation to coincide with something from another class. |
Follow-Up |
1) Student presentation of project; 2) Group work - Animated Short |
