After our last IIT meeting, there was a presentation about a film festival at Central Senior. One of the film "formats" was stop motion animation and the app that was used was Stop Motion Studio. I thought it would be cool for my 2/3s to create some stop motion movies but I wasn't sure when this would be. The time revealed itself when we were lucky enough to be able to attend a screening of "The Lego Movie". The students loved the movie and when I discussed the possibility of creating something movies the looked similar to what we watched at the theatre, they were hooked.
This happened before the March Break and it consumed our classroom for two full days which, considering it was just before a holiday, I was okay with. We haven't gone back to the stop motion movies again but we certainly will again when the right curriculum connection presents itself. This app was very easy to use, even for young children and it is pretty cool to see how students innovate and learn from each other.
