=Stopmotion Animation= Presenter: Jason Wooldridge

Welcome to my tutuorial on how I use stop motion animation in the classroom. I have been using this as a writing activitiy for eight years. I have found that students really become more motivated about writing and producing a video based on their ideas. As educators this can be the hardest part of what we do. I hope the information that I offer will help you in offering this great idea to your students.

Stopmotion animation is the when you manipulate an object in pictures and then publish it to make it look like it is moving. The common form would be that of cartoons when they were drawn. Animators would take pictures of a character and them make put it in motion to make it look like it was moving. For many people this is done with clay. This is often called clay animation or clay-mation. An examples of this would be __Wallace and Gromit__.
