Richard Byrne offers up five aps and sites that students may use to create animations. He provides an overview of:
* Stop Frame Animator
* SketchStar
* Animation Deck (an iPad app available in a lite or paid version)
* Draw Island
* Wideo.co
If you are considering having your students create videos for a project this post will allow you to quickly find a tool or two for them to use...and make sure that you check the tool on the computers in your school. It is not unusual for some of these tools to be blocked by filters.
"Sketch Star from Miniclip is a fun and free tool for creating animated comics. On Sketch Star students can create draw animations from scratch or use pre-made shapes and characters. Students build their animations frame by frame."
Beth Dichter's insight:
If you are looking for a free tool to create animations you should check out SketchStar. In this review by Richard Byrne shares his insight into the program as well as some suggestions about how you might use it in the classroom. Be aware that students will need an email address to register at the site.
