Middle Primary: Animated gif's

As a break from our normal literacy focus in ICT, Middle Primary has been using a nice little freeware program called Pivot Stickfigure Animator. It's a very small download and it allows a student to create stick figure animations. This worked well, quickly allowing the students to use their computers to create something. When enough students had created animations we then exported them from the program as animated gifs (small image files) and then imported the files into PowerPoint and made a little story out of the animations.

In a future lesson we can then use this slideshow to make a more multimedia style of presentation by adding music of recording student's voices using a free program like Audacity.
