TESTIMONIALS
“Very easy to follow, simple, good video and online resource links, relevant to the student’s ages. I liked that it covered the history element of stop motion in a simple and easy way to understand, it didn’t drag that element out too much. The short activities were also really helpful, they kept the kids engaged and not bored, but weren’t too hard to organise either.”
– Haley, Years 9 & 10 Media Arts teacher
“I found the information great…students found this very engaging. The forms were very useful as handouts.”
