Wanda Terral (who I follow on Facebook) is a Google guru. She recently shared several of her presentations from a Georgia tech conference. Here’s the link to her Stop Motion presentation. She includes step by step directions as well as several templates.
After watching Matt Miller’s video, I was motivated to try my own Stop Motion video using Google Slides and Screencastify. While Matt used shapes in Google Slides, I created a character in StoryBoardThat and cut and pasted that image into my Google Slides. While I didn’t add sound, your students could add sound (as well as a webcam) to their product. If you are interested, Matt’s directions are easy to follow and very complete.
This morning I saw this post from Richard Byrne (Free Technology for Teachers) suggesting a chrome extension I had forgotten about- Stop Motion Animator. It is easy to use (you can record the video and audio separately). I’m sitting at a borrowed desk this morning so you can see the Yankee mug wander across the screen.
