Other Details
Supply List
NOTE: Pivot Animator only works on Windows. I have found some workarounds listed below, but I have not used them very much and therefore won't be able to provide a lot of support with them. You are welcome to try one of them if you would like. For this class you will need to download and install Pivot Animator on your computer. It is a free program. Go to https://pivotanimator.net/ Click on download. Download Pivot Animator 4. Then open the file and it will prompt you to install it on your computer. Note from the Pivot Animator Website: A few browsers and anti-virus software, such as Norton, may give warnings for Pivot. These are false alarms that can occur because some will flag anything that they don't recognize. The Pivot installer does include offers for other software, but they're all optional during installation and will not harm your computer. Pivot and the installer are safe. If you don't have access to a windows computer, you may try one of the following work-arounds if you wish. Again, I don't have a lot of experience with them so I won't be able to provide as much support with them. For Mac: STYKZ - Very similar to Pivot Animator https://www.stykz.net/ Online editor that can be used with chromebooks but doesn't have quite as many tools: http://antimatter15.com/ajaxanimator/stick2/stick2.html (Has issues with saving animations) Stick Nodes App- http://sticknodes.com/sticks/stick-nodes-app-nodes/

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am currently a certified Career and Technology Education teacher. My students love learning about and using Pivot Animator and I'd like to share this with others. Pivot Animator is a very easy to use platform and a good way to gain some experience with animation. Those who find they love animating can then choose various classes to lead them to a career in animation. Reviews
