iPad Project 1: Stop Motion Animation

Stop-motion has been around since the late 1800's. It involves adding movement to
inanimate objects

2. Create a practice mini stop motion animation.
3. In small groups, collaboratively brainstorm a stop motion animation idea
and materials (modeling clay, chalk, paper, scissors, pencils, toys, stuffed
animals, legos, push pins, markers, cardboard, fruit, silverware, paper clips,
ornaments, jewelry, etc).
4. In small groups, collect still images using iPads, if available, and/or digital
cameras.
5. In small groups, create and edit your video using Stop Motion Studio
app, if iPads are available.

iPad Project 2: PSU Perspective WebQuest

Visual Culture & Educational Technologies course.

be a different size than their actual size. You will be creating photographs that ENLARGE,
EXTEND, or TRANSFORM space.

second photograph will represent the other partner's perspective. This is a little bit more
tricky than the first task!
