Student made Anime on @redsoftware Animation creator #edapp #mlearning #artsed #lessonplan

 

My 6th grade students studied a unit on Japan so I figured they could collaborate to create a piece of Japanese inspired animation (Anime) by using @redsoftware 's app: Animation Creator

In the past, I have done Manga work with my students, where they study the art of that time period while they learn about it in their sixth grade Social Studies class.

I wanted my students to utilize the Animation Creator app before they left me for the year, as I had some great examples in the past when my students made Greek Myth animations

If you would like to do something along this line, or a lesson on Anime, you can check out this Prezi that is a halfway conversion from my original Powerpoint with some elements copied from Lori Ingham's Prezi

You can also read about a recent Horry Independent article on my other students and how their use of IPods help them learn about their art content.

 

Overall though, I must say that I was a little disappointed with the school's IPods and the app itself. Not sure if it was a the school's wireless or the IPod's software, or a combination of both. SO I apologize to my 6th graders that not ALL of your animations made it into the film as I had a lot of issues of taking all thirty IPods home and uploaded them one at a time to YouTube .
