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)
Here is another program you might want to try out. Frame by Frame
FrameByFrame lets you create stop-motion animation videos using any webcam/video camera connected to your Mac. Just take some pictures and in a matter of seconds you‘ve got your very own stop-motion QuickTime movie!
