According to Lowe (2003) animations offer students and learners with dynamic information that is unavailable or implicit from normal images. However, Lowe (2003) also suggests that the use of animation as a learning tool will also use additional and qualitatively different information processing demands on thought processes. According to Lowe (2003) in order for learners to be successful when producing a high quality model from animated instruction, they must be capable of extracting the relevant information and integrate it within their own knowledge. Ainsworth (2008) identifies that animations are a useful and effective way of showing key scientific concepts that would be otherwise difficult to show in reality. However Ainsworth (2008) does not specifically agree that animations have a significant impact on learning.
This was another attempt at stop-motion animation, this time using props. I found the use of props far more difficult than using people.
Animations help educate in many different ways
Technical Skills Include;
- Photography
- ICT
- Audio
- Lighting
It also helps with life skills such as;
- Problem Solving
- Team Working
- Patience
As we decided that we were going to do the Solar System as our final piece, we tried to animate a 3-d globe. This video shows our attempt at it. However, because of lighting we decided that it would be better to use 2-D objects rather than added another dimension and further complicating the animation.
