Each Year our Year 3 students complete a unit of study on animations. This unit is a part of our STEAM program. For quite a few years we have travelled from our school in Geelong to Melbourne to take part in an excursion learning about the art of animating. That was until last year when we found Toonworlds. Now we have the Toonworlds team, come to our school and our students are involved in hands on animation workshops with them. These animation workshops are so beneficial and we use them as a catalyst for our animation program. The students learn how to create characters, settings and scripts. They have the opportunity to record their animation using the provided iPads and then at the end of the day showcase all of their work to their families. If you were thinking of teaching your students how to create animations, then I would highly recommend that you use Toonworlds to introduce the concept to your students.
