SAM Animation
Wednesday, February 22, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Explore SAM Animation, a unique stop-motion software developed by educators for educators at Tufts University that provides flexible and creative ways to engage students in science, math, and engineering explorations. By capturing a series of still images frame by frame, stop-motion technology allows learners to represent their thinking in the form of a movie, like a digital flipbook.
Create an animation you can share with your students, and leave with ideas about how this software can support your students' learning. Our staff will also provide an overview of the services and programs available in the Educator Resource Center in the Lyman Library, emphasizing support for teachers as learners.
Funding for SAM Animation provided by the National Science Foundation. It is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. A demo version of the software is available. Co-presenters are from iCreate, a Tufts spin-off company that offers teachers professional development and support.
