Stop Motion Animation

The student will create a short clip using Stop Motion techniques. This movie will be made with the iPad using the Motion Cafe app. Stop motion (also known as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. In this video the student will demonstrate "app smashing" by using other apps to put together a video that demonstrates a math concept using manipulatives that are made to come alive and talk.
