Animation

  • Al Doyle

    Hey,
    I teach animation to middle school kids as part of their projects in Math, Science and Social Studies. We use Flash and Google Sketchup to create curriculum-rich kid-centered projects.
    using Flash: DNA replication (Science 7), demi-Regular Tessellations (Math7), and Solar System orbits, satellites and comets (Science 6)
    Using Sketchup: Greek Temple walk-thorughs (Social Studies 6) and Spanish Castles (Grade 6 Spanish)
    In the summer, I teach animation at a camp in Maine, Here is a list of animation tools we use:


    Animation:
    Flash
    Director
    Toon Boom Studio
    Flip Boom (for Middle school)
    Animish (for very young)
    Pencil (Free online)
    iStopMotion (Mac Only)
    Claymation (PC only)
