Student Animators
There’s so much I love about this story at so many levels! (Warning, though - very slow loading page.)
Amesbury High School has a 3-D computer animation program. Cool! The students work together to create their movie. Very cool! The topic of the movie is suggested by a local elementary school librarian to target their students. Cooler still! The world premiere is held at the elementary school, for kindergarten kids with their 4th-grade buddy classroom, which is, of course, is totally cool.
Cooperation, teamwork, project-based, real audience, cross-age working with cross-age, the list just goes on. All wrapped around a use of technology that allows creativity and storytelling in a way that can’t be done without technology.
I want to go work there. I guess I’d better Google “Amesbury” and find out where that is.
