Claymation in the Classroom

Nothing engages students more than creating claymation. With Frames as the foundation, claymation helps students showcase knowledge using a fun and creative medium. Providing a unique combination of high touch and high tech, this motivating process transforms your classroom into an active learning environment. Your students will love working on cross-curricular group projects that incorporate writing and technology skills.
“What really makes it so worthwhile is that once the students study the material and do all the activities necessary to create the animation, they truly internalize what it is that we are learning about. At the end of the process, the students are always so proud of their accomplishments and truly beam when other students and school personnel attend their movie premiers. The general consensus from all students is that “clay animation really rocks.”
