Day 2: Stopmotion Videos with iStopMotion and Lego Movie Maker


Amazing camp class today! Using the iPad apps, iStopMotion and Lego Movie Maker, students learned to create comprehensive stopmotion videos.  We used both these one-stop application (which combines a camera, sound, animation, editing and speed variables) to produce a video. These stop motion animation techniques - 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 and Lego Movie Maker are wonderful apps to use for school projects.  I highly recommend their 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!
