I have picked up my Bee-Bot and started to explore how it works, so please look out for a forthcoming post on that! I had great fun this evening playing around with the Stop Motion app on my iPhone, after my audit revealed that I need to explore more educational apps.
The Stop Motion app has been designed to allow children to make fun videos. It is very intuitive, and connects to the camera and microphone on a mobile device. Users are required to take a series of photos in sequence (something which could be linked to sequencing in the Computing NC), and these are linked together at the chosen speed to create a basic video. The simple interface and controls means it could be seamlessly integrated into a lesson, as a hook or as the main focus. I hope to be testing this out at my GPP placement school! This app could easily be used across the curriculum - from projects for Art and D&T, to filming Drama performances and Maths problems. I will be posting about cross-curricular use of Computing at a later date.
