About Tamara She is a mom. Raising three children provides endless opportunities for reflection as you discover what works (and what doesn’t!) for each of the little personalities you are trying to shape. Tamara’s parenting stories are sparked by observations and interactions as her children learn and grow. She is an educator. Tamara began her teaching career in 1997 with Clark County School District in Las Vegas, NV. Since that time, she’s educated children, teachers, parents and district leaders through my work with Shelby County Schools in Memphis, TN, Staunton City Schools in Staunton, VA, and Hanover County Public Schools in Ashland, VA. Her professional experiences include serving as an elementary classroom teacher, a Differentiation Specialist and a technology integrator. She was named 2019 Mechanicsville Elementary Teacher of the Year and an R.E.B. Award for Teaching Excellence finalist (with final designations announced November 2018!) She currently hold a masters degree in Educational Leadership with administrative licensure for grades PK-12 that she received from James Madison University in 2006. She presents at local, state, and international conferences to include EdTechRVA, Virginia Society for Technology in Education (VSTE) Conference, and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference. In 2018, she was a keynote speaker for the Clarke County Innovation Conference and serve as Social Media Chairperson for the annual VSTE Conference. She is passionate about student choice and voice and will often share stories of her lessons to inspire educators or perhaps strike a conversation that will engage others to delve deeper into the topic at hand. She is also passionate about kindness, hosting the annual Kindness Share Fair at Mechanicsville Elementary School. Being an educator to other parents’ children is tightly woven into her own parenting style. She is a writer. In 2012, she created her first blog, sharing her journey of completing 40 random acts of kindness for others in celebration of her 40th birthday. After presenting an Ignite session at the 2014 ISTE Conference in Atlanta, GA, she expanded her passion for writing to include various publications with organizations such as ISTE, Tech4Learning, and Christian Educators Association International. Her repertoire now includes book collaborations, web posts, magazine articles, screencasts, webinars, digital learning guides and more. She is currently writing a book about kindness to be published in 2019 by Dave Burgess Consulting, Inc.

I'm conducting a month long blitz on using various forms of animation with my dozen or so classes.Part of my teaching assignment is to introduce new ways to "show what you know". And from my days 5 years ago taking photographs with a tripod and using Windows Movie Maker to try to animate the photos we have come a long way since then.  I continue to find this type of storytelling interesting, innovative and a very good way to motivate students.I have collected a number of resources along the way and tried to find ways to bring animation closer to the students. In the photo above, you'll see my 6 year old Mac Mini, a 5 year old school owned Canon Mini DV camera and a school owned monitor. I used this set-up this week as a demonstration animation station. I have it on a metal cart on wheels which allows me to move from classroom to classroom.National Film Board - Canada (NFB) ResourcesStopMo - Great site. 18 minute segmented step-by-step process for animation. Includes a detailed series of lesson plans which can be adapted to different grade levels.SoftwareWe're very fortunate to have an agreement with Tech4Learning to have Frames animation software installed on each academic image among publicly funded schools in Ontario.Mobile Animation Apps. for iOSFor iPhone and iPod Touch I have had success with (free) LEGO® Super Heroes Movie MakerAnd just last week a student in grade 8 showed me a terrific app. for iPhone and iPod Touch called iMotion HD. Unlike the LEGO® app., which saves to the Camera Roll, iMotion HD does not save unless you purchase the full version for $1.99. We also use the animation instructional videos included with NFB's free (in Canada) PixStop Animation App. for iOS.  Three short tutorial films are included with the app. and are very good: "Three Principles of Animation",  "Flipbook" , and "Storyboarding".Steps in the ProcessI encouraged students to keep a few things in mind when creating their animations:a) Create a 3 panel storyboard which shows: beginning, middle, and end.b) Write next to your sketch the Action Sequence in each panel.b) Select no more than 3 characters to be the 'talent' in the animation.c) Tell your story in 10 seconds or less.d) Decide ahead of time whether you'll be creating your animation as a Pixilation with classmates, with toy characters, or with clay.Note: There are other animation options but these are three good ones with which to start.Teacher Created Resources:York Region teacher Dan Grant uses animation in his junior classroom and penned an article a while back for ETFO's Voice magazine on Stop Motion in the classroom. The best collection of templates and instructional videos around is by teacher Kevin Hodgson. His animation website is terrific.Update: This week we started storyboarding and creating backgrounds. A trip to No-Frills was necessary. Came back with about 40 cardboard boxes!
