Objectives
In this topic, we see animation as an exercise, as the tool that will help us create animated pieces within a free software or application, or even a simple montage application in which the frame rate can be controlled.
The main objectives of this topic are described in the following video:
Lesson 1- Animation principlesPulsa para colapsar
The following table shows all the materials preprared for the teacher to learn (T2L) and for the teacher to take them to the classroom (T2T,S2P) for Lesson 1 of Topic 3. Animation as a tool. The description of the different types of materials (T2L, T2T, S2P) can be found here. For each material, teachers can find in this table: its description , the student workload and where the student works. Additionally, recommendations about what to do in the classroom are included (remember that one lesson corresponds to one class of the teacher with her/his students). Follow the links in the table to discover what O-City has prepared for you:
