Dissertation buy or not to buy-that is the question?

The pressure of writing a dissertation is most monstrous and unimaginable. Due to inability to handle the ginormous task on their own and deadly threatening time constraint, many people decide to buy a dissertation. It is neither an easy task to decide where to buy dissertation from nor ask for an advice on it. Judgmental as advisors may be, they regard buying dissertation online unethical which is entirely a… Continue

Peace Corps Volunteer in Bulgaria

I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Europe in the Country of Bulgaria. I am new to this site but have been teaching in Bulgaria for three years. I have put a couple of coloring books together for my students and want to begin to animate some of the pics. I am currently putting together a coloring book for children with special needs to teach them different animals and the letters of the alphabet. I am hoping to animate the letters and the animals. I was interested in any suggestions on how to begin… Continue

Proving you can animate anything!

I've been lucky enough to attend several of Oscar Stringer's animation workshops and one of the things he always says is that you don't have to get your hands mucky and use plasticine as you can animate anything, even the contents of your pencil case. So, when I found this video from Cauldeen Primary School in Scotland, I thought I'd share it as it proves the point!! Really simpl… Continue

Year 10 animations on themes around mental health.

I've just spent four days working at Bewdley High school with year 10. The money was raised, by a small team of students to cover the costs from a local charity. Each workshop was two days long and over the four days 14 short films were produced. Next term DVD's of the films are being sent out to local schools as a resource for teachers to use with year 7,8 and 9 to start classroom discussion on these tricky areas of mental health. Animation is a great medium for exploring these issues. There a… Continue

The shortest Myth

On Friday I was asked to run 2 x 2 hour long animation sessions for the Film Education conference held in Brighton. This short format workshop/session is becoming more popular and I'm now getting to used to it. I've spent the last five years running day long teacher inset days, which are far more civilised, but conferences tend to do the many different flavours approach. I suddenly realised, twittering on Friday that these animation sessions were more of a speed animation session, much like spe… Continue

Our first attempts - Science Project Animations by Years 5 and 6

I am so proud of my Year 5 and 6 group. Today I hope to upload the animations they have been making to show off to you all - lots and lots of praise please everyone because this is our first attempt. We started 3 weeks ago - to celebrate end of SATS and because we were ahead of ourselves (for once) in Science. I had asked each group to choose an area of Science to present to the class, to show what they had learnt, when it suddenly occurred to me that if we linked this with ou… Continue

Animation and MFL's

I had a great day yesterday, working with 20 Primary teachers from LA's in the West Midlands. They were all Modern Languages teachers and had signed up to my two hour workshop to find out how animation can help teach French and Spanish, keeping the students engaged and thinking about different languages and cultures, as well as their own. We decided to do adverts, keeping all minds focused is always a challenge and short adverts around a product or idea automatically keep everyone involved think… Continue

Dabbing into Animation

Our school is ending today, and the last few weeks, I have been working on Claymation and Pivot Stickfigure Animation with my sixth graders. Students get very engaged in animation and the shift of learning really falls on them, as I find I become more of a coach than the person at the front of the room. They discover, they create, they share -- and I just guide them along. I love that. Here is a compilation of screenshots from claymation movies (based mostly around a Climate Change theme). I us… Continue
