| Stop Motion animation |
 On Wednesday 13th of May Oscar Stringer, an expert in animation, ran a workshop with a group of children in Newmains Primary School.
Oscar worked with a group of 4 children in one room at Newmains. The workshop was shared with schools around Scotland who watch and followed on creating their own animations. The workshop was shared through a Glow Meet conference, using Marratech video conferencing. Hopefully glow users will be able to watch a replay of the conference soon.
The children in the rest of Primary 6 join in with their classmates through the wall and produced some great animations read more... |

| Tannochside Primary School use Activexpression |
Work by pupils from Tannochside primary features on the Promethean Planet Website, Promethean say:
With support from North Lanarkshire local authority, Tannochside was just one of the schools involved in Promethean's nationwide Learner Response Systems pilot programme. Tannochside Primary embraced Activexpression and incorporated the technology into a variety of different subjects throughout the curriculum.
As part of the North Lanarkshire writing curriculum, pupils were tasked to produce leaflets and posters in a functional writing lesson. The core target for this lesson was for learners to use some of the conventions of leaflets with a writing target for their posters to inform and persuade the audience.
Using Activexpression as their inspiration, class 7c wanted to illustrate the impact that it has had on teaching and learning at their school. The pupils worked hard and produced some fantastic literature.

| Frame by Frame |
St Michael's Primary have been experimenting with stop motion animation using FrameByFrame.
FrameByFrame is a free application for creating stop-motion animation videos using any webcam/video camera connected to your Mac, including iSight.
Apart from giving pupils the chance to make animations that relate to their learning making an animation involves a lot of creative team work and co-operative learning, obviously valuable in the classroom. FrameByFrame will give you a good chance to try out animation without expense, although it lacks the ability to add audio that could be done easily by importing the movies into iMovie.
