Leveraging Technology
Explore a variety of instructional technology tools in this hands-on workshop you can leverage in your classroom to accelerate, amplify, and add value to learning.
Stop Motion Animation
Stop motion animation is a filming technique in which objects are moved by hand in small increments between individually photographed frames. When the series of frames is played back, it gives the appearance that the objects are moving and changing on their own. Use the directions below and start creating your own stop motion animation video.
