@MsGillSD36 Some students are light years ahead of me with it and are using apps that work best for them. Others are using iMovie and some are using an app called Stop Motion Studio which is already on the iPads at our school.

Students showed excellent creative and critical thinking skills today while designing props and planning for their stop motion videos. Always amazed by their thoughtful ideas and problem solving! #SMElearns #SD36Learn #stopmotion
