To continue the animation theme we used 2Animate Lite in Purplemash to create some basic animations. There are some limitations in the Lite 2Animate - only 10 frames, and no import facility. Still, it's a nice introduction to animation, and some of the students used the 'onion skinning' tool well. Here are some Gr1 and Gr2 examples (click on the image to see the animation!)

The second time the Kindergarten classes were in the IT Centre was a joy! We set up Purplemash and used the winter art activity. Essentially this is using textured paint to create a winter scene. As anticipated there was quite a wide ability range; however all students were able to achieve a final product which was printed out using the colour laser printer. Here are some samples: I obtained a trial of Purple Mash, a suite of online creation tools produced by 2Simple Software. Today we used it with the Gr2 classes using a Remembrance Day writing activity. The students had prompts, clip art and a few photos with which to build their information text. The results were good, although classes needed extra time to finish. Personally I love this type of desktop publishing, and all students were able to be successful. |
