Teacher Experience Exchange - 7 Web 2.0 animation tools - 0 views

Animation projects are a great way to integrate technology, encourage project-based learning and have a lot of fun. This month let's take a quick tour of seven Web 2.0 animation sites for students young and old.

Moving up a level of complexity is DigitalFilms.com. Like Fluxtime, numerous backgrounds and objects are provided. A character creator is also included so students can make characters that look just like them. You can add actions and text to the characters and then share them online.

A powerful, frame-by-frame, animation tool is DoInk. It features easy-to-use vector drawing tools and one-click frame cloning. After an animation is created (called a drawing), you can insert it into another, larger project called a composition. This is great practice before introducing students to Adobe Flash. Check out the DoInk featured compositions for project ideas.
