Using PowerPoint for Animation

I am teaching a 2D Animation class over the IITV system which connects the school in our division. I am using Moodle and depending heavily on Bridgit and Skype. This allows the students to work at the computers in lab. My class includes students from two schools, 13 students. My course delivery is a work in progress that will be described on this blog.
We are starting a new topic in 2D involving animation and Powerpoint. We will be looking at many types of simple animation, so each topic is about 3 classes. There are four animation examples in this video from TILT.

Start It Up!

It is time to begin again! School, this blog, schedules!
The first few weeks of school have been exciting and challenging. I think that our online campus is off to a good start.I am teaching an IITV course to students in two schools - 2D Animation. We are using Moodle as our course management system. In school tech mentoring is going to involve inservicing in ePearl, and helping teachers infuse their program with technology.
You will notice that I changed my blog template and added a picture to the header. This is indeed my view to the southwest horizon. Southwest Horizon is also the name of my school division. :-)
I am going to follow the advice that I give my teachers, blogs are for opinions, advice, comments and Wikis should contain facts.
So I will try to share ideas that I hope you will find interesting.
