Week Five

Today we looked at how to make a short animanted film. We used the website http://www.dfilm.com/live/moviemaker.html to make a short film below is mine that I made. We had to copy the link at the end of the movie by pressing Ctrl A then Ctrl C and then copied it below.



We then moved on and made an animated character using the website http://www.buildyourwildself.com/



I really liked this site and I know that students would enjoy using it. These are the sorts of sites are the education oppurtunites that I would like to introduce in my classroom. I really like the technology and find that these sites could provide lots of education and enjoyment for the students. Greg also mentioned that children dont build enough things at school. Animation websites could be relly good tool for those children who do not enjoy the hands on side of being creative.

We also spoke about rebus stories and how they can be used in the classroom.
