Digital Animation

During the last class, the students used two favorite applications to create cartoons.




They first used ABCya Animate to create animation through their drawings.  Check out the tutorial here to practice more at home.

Next, the students used Toontastic (recently purchased by Google!) to produce cartoon videos.  This app is very easy to use because it guides children through the steps of a fictional story.  Starting with the setting and characters, the story increases in problems through the climate, conflict, and climax - and then, finally, a resolution.
