She seeks to inspire students to reach beyond their own expectations through teaching with enthusiasm and a comprehensive knowledge for her subject.

Session description

This workshop will utilize the power of Stopmotion and Clips Apps to create animations that visualize learning in response to exploring authentic case studies. Participants will leave with inspiration and proposals for case studies that enable them to implement this interactive learning activity immediately in their classrooms.

Purpose & objective

Participants will be able to:
- Create a stopmotion animation to demonstrate understanding of a concept
- Apply understanding of a concept to creating an animation that demonstrates a solution to an authentic problem or explains a given case study.

Outline

1) Connect - Presenter introduction and objectives (5mins)
2) Activate - Presentation of rationale for using animation in science with student examples; participants become students in this workshop 'classroom' to learn the subject knowledge to be demonstrated (10mins)
3) Demonstrate - Participants create stopmotion animation in pairs using iPad or iPhone (presenter to bring other materials and templates); Exemplars of student work in response to the participants' prompt for today (30mins)
4) Debrief - Participants think-pair-share and whole group discussion:
- What could you animate in your subject?
- What authentic case studies could students solve and/or explain using animation? (15mins)
