It is now widely accepted that technology is becoming an integral part of the learning environment. There is a drive worldwide ( eg.the United States P21 " The partnership for 21st Century Skills" ) to improve the technology literacy skills of school children. However, it is very important that educators do not teach technology as a subject in isolation. Ideally educators should integrate the appropriate use of technology into the curriculum, thereby enhancing learning of the curriculum content and achieving the best learning outcomes.
A very successful way of integrating technology into the curriculum is through animation.Stop motion animation is regarded as a desirable supplementary cross curriculum educational tool.The creative potential of animation is unlimited and integrating it into any school curriculum or after school activity offers the possibility of exploring every students potential.
Through animation a student will be able to demonstrate:
1. Proficiency in use of computers and applications
2. Understanding the concepts underlining hardware, software and connectivity.
3. The ability to use technology for research.
4. Critical thinking
5. Problem solving
6. Decision making
7. Collaboration, Communication and Creativity
8. Innovation
