This guy, Amit, provides an easy-to-follow step-by-step way to make a simple stop-motion animation ... and the good part is that he uses a plain digital camera (Canadian Tire special) and MovieMaker. This is fun for all grades ... the young ones love seeing their stuffed toys move (they even get excited when paper clips movie on film). The older ones get their creative juices flowing and go well beyond your expectations. This is not hard to do nor is it taxing - best of all, it's educationally FUN ... check out this site.
Also, while you're on his site, you may want to check out Amit's neat and rather interesting "How-to Guides" (http://www.labnol.org/tag/guide/)
Just a few things to keep you reading, thinking, "mucking around", and while you're doing that you will have fun. For creative and innovative ideas, collaborative opportunities, communicating what's good, and critically assessing teaching and learning in the 21st century, start here and go to hundreds of other links. These are posts from REAL teachers and REAL TEACHER CANDIDATES - They have an interest in being awesome educators, sharing practical Tech Tools and apps/websites with you. Enjoy!
