A practical course where you will create a stop motion film using animation software. Teachers will be provided with a teaching framework to take back into the classroom. A program outline, visual resources and worksheets will be to make this a workable unit in the classroom. Teachers will work in small groups, developing a narrative, map out a storyboard, create set & characters for their film, learn to use the stop motion software and finally explore basic editing, audio and special effects in iMovie. All work is on a MAC but these skills are transferable to PC stop motion software. Also you will learn strategies to manage technology in the classroom.
What to bring:MAC Laptop, DV camcorder, power cable, and computer input cable (FIREWIRE 4 - PIN) - please contact Sharron if unsure of the cable required. A Tripod. The equipment listed is not essential but it would be of benefit to learn to set up your own equipment

  | Very interesting, good starting point. Simple on the Mac. |
  | It's a great course, needs to be expanded over 2 DAYS - That would help to acticulate knowledge. |
| Would have liked to be given more knwoedge with iMovie. |
| |
| It would have been good to have more information prior about the technology. |
| Fun, informative, hands on and inspirational. |
| Good fun. Infomrative. |
| Great, had no ideas and this has helped a lot. Would defiantly come to her course again. |
| Great course, would like 2nd course - defiantly would come again. |
| Enjoyed the course thoroughly. Liked working collaboratively. Would like it over two days so editing could be covered in more detail. |
| A really good, practical hands on course. |
| Course a littel slow. Too much practical more theory/ information would be good. |
| Very relevant to the classroom context. Great hands on practical experience. Sharron was an effective presenter and I learnt the fundamentals of SMA. |
| Excellent instructions and related each technique to practical classroom situations. Very friendly learning environment. |
| Needed to cater for PC users more. Even though skills/ knowledge can easily be transferable. |
| Presentation was very clear and delivered with assistance readily offered throughout. |
