I.C.T.
Study Time:
3 x 70 minute sessions
Learning Objective:
By the end of this module pupils will know how to create their own animated cartoon complete with narration and background music using Flash Dance software.
Overview:
Flash Dance is an excellent introduction to ICT digital animation at Key Stage 2. It inspires pupils to explore their imagination and bring a toy to life… well animated life anyway! Each pupil is shown how to produce their own animation feature with a dancing toy and add a synchronised soundtrack. One-on-one tutorials demonstrate some of the most innovative technology around including the latest web animation software, Adobe Flash, web cams and the music software package, ‘Dance E Jay’.
Evidence of Learning:
After the course, novice directors have their own short digital film to take back to school and show both their friends and family.
