In this class, you’ll learn a technique called stop motion animation. Stop motion animation is a type of animation capturing one frame at a time with objects moving between frames. IMPORTANT: ⭐THIS ACTIVITY WILL ONLY WORK WITH AN ADULT GOOGLE ACCOUNT (school accounts and under 13 accounts WILL NOT WORK because they do not allow the "publish to web" function which is required to make the animation move). I'm unable to fix this during class, so it's super disappointing to kids when their animations won't work while the rest of the class experiences success. You must give permission to your learner to use your google account and Google Slides. ⭐This class is compatible with Macs or PCs - no iPad or iPhones. Class Structure: I'm live - instructing and helping. But with technology, tech difficulties are common, so I also pre-record my own video tutorials so that they are readily available just in case a student falls behind and becomes stressed. With tech glitches, we can never predict what will happen, so I find it's better to be overly prepared. My goal is a smooth, enjoyable experience for everyone. My Teaching Style: I am an experienced certified teacher and have taught technology to over 1200 kids. I specialize in breaking concepts down into manageable chunks. I check for understanding often, and I give kids a chance to catch up to me and/or ask questions. So much can go wrong with technology, and my patience and laidback “everything is okay” attitude is soothing to students.
Learning Goals
You will gain a working knowledge of stop motion animation and get valuable experience maneuvering around in Google Slides. Google Slides is an amazing tool for educational and entertainment purposes.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Again, parents, please be aware that Google accounts are available for ages 13 and up. If you choose this class for your child, you'll need to use your own personal Google account and grant permission to your learner.
