Animation Software & Examples

With the wide variety of free-to-use animation software now available, there is no reason not to incorporate animation into art and STEM curriculum.

 

  • Infographics*, the graphical and sometimes animated illustration of diverse data, has gained in popularity, because graphics is such a popular media of communications.

Not every teacher can be an expert on all of these tools. Spread the skills around and then you can concentrate on your classroom and go to your “experts” when you need something.

Remind your students about copyright issues when scanning in or capturing images or music for their projects.
