GIVE STOP MOTION A TRY!
WHAT IS STOP MOTION?
Stop motion is an app used to enhance student learning. Students can create a product such as a diorama illustrating what they are learning. They can move the characters/animals/figures around on their display, taking pictures with each tiny move. Next, students can write a summary of their learning. They can record their summaries to add sound to their movie. Finally, students will be able to watch their hard work come to life!
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
- Publishing a final product
- Explaining a process
HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. You or your students should create inanimate objects to illustrate what you are teaching or learning. Place your creation in a beginning position.
2. Go to the Stop Motion App on your iPad. Take a picture of your creation. Make a slight change in your creation. Snap a new picture. Continue doing this until your creation is at its ending position. The more pictures the better. Be sure to hold your iPad in the same position each time you take a picture.
3. When you are finished taking pictures, go back to your very first picture. Click the microphone to record your information. Select record and a counter will count down from 3 to 1. Then you will begin recording. When your recording is complete click stop. Press play to listen to your recording, and accept if you are happy with your recording and are ready to add it to your movie.
4. Go to settings and move the bar so that the movie plays on the slowest setting. You can also choose whether to loop your movie in settings.
5. Once you are happy with your stop motion movie, download it to your camera roll.
