Students are allowed to animate in whatever method they feel most comfortable. Children who work with traditional pen and paper can purchase 3 hole punch animation peg bars from Lightfoot Ltd (I am not affiliated) https://www.lightfootltd.com/content/round-pegbar-plastic There are also a number of animation apps for tablets: FlipaClip Calipeg Animation Desk Procreate Clip Studio I recommend downloading one a week before class and letting your child use it so they are familiar with the interface before class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
