Cloud Stop Motion

If you ever wanted to make a short stop animation video for free try this website by clicking here.  You could have your students use this in science to show how they do a lab or in any other class where they want to demonstrate something.

Brush Ninja

Brush Ninja is an animated gif creator that students and teachers alike can use.   From their website, "Brush Ninja is a fun way for students to learn about animation, to illustrate the concepts they have just learnt, or to add some colour to their presentations. Alternatively it can be a fun, free, way for teachers to present by using it as an animated whiteboard."  To see their website click here.  Watch the video below to see how to use this site.  This will be my last post until the new school year as you should be studying or marking exams.  I will see you after Labour Day.

History In Motion

According to their website, "There is no lack of history resources on the Internet. Historical web sites, blogs, maps, videos, and animations abound. But two things are missing:

A way to tie it all together: text, images, video, audio, historical maps, and animation
A way for anyone to create and share multimedia, animated historical scenarios without having to know programming, graphics, animation, or digital cartography.
History in Motion offers powerful, easy-to-use features so you can create historical scenarios, animate events, share your work with others, and explore history in a way that was never before possible.

If it helps to understand that this was happening here while that was happening there, History in Motion is the tool for you."
