The document discusses using animation in education to develop technological skills and support interdisciplinary learning. It recommends including animations from first through fourth levels, progressing from stop frame to 3D. Case studies show how schools used animation projects to reinforce learning in other subjects. Links provide resources for teachers to learn about pupil and staff experiences with animation.

2. Support need identified through the UoG report Confirmed through own engagements I enjoy taking photographs or recording sound and images to represent my experiences and the world around me. TCH 0-04b I can create , capture and manipulate sounds, text and images to communicate experiences, ideas and information in creative and engaging ways. TCH 1-04b / TCH 2-04b I enhance my learning by applying my ICT skills in different learning contexts across the curriculum . TCH 3-04a Using appropriate software, I can work individually or collaboratively to design and implement a game, animation or other application. TCH 3-09a I can create graphics and animations using appropriate software which utilise my skills and knowledge of the application. TCH 4-09b Addressed in subsequent action plan ‘ CPD for staff in key aspects of ICT to support children and enable staff to spot appropriate areas where technology can be applied.’ UoG comment ‘ Animations should be included at first and second levels. Progression from first to fourth levels should be stop frame animation, in between animation and 3D animation.’ UoG comment from the Scottish ICT Development group i Opportunities within the experiences and outcomes

6. The technologies experiences and outcomes provide pupils at all stages of learning with the opportunity to become involved in the production of animations .This creative use of ICT provides scope for developing technological skills, knowledge and understanding through, practical activities. At the same time this media production offers a rich basis for interdisciplinary learning or opportunity to reinforce learning from other curricular areas.
