When Students are able to synthesize, produce and Publish their knowledge, they are reaching the fine top levels of Blooms Taxonomy. While releasing their Creativity, students strive to convey their understanding of learning targets. Set them free, allowing for fun easy engaging productions! Dr Lodge McCammon is the leading researcher, designing professional development to aid teachers in embracing the wonders of 21st Century Learning.
JellyCam with your students to make a fun easy 21st Century STEM production! After fumbling around with moviemaker, taking loads of pictures, importing, organizing and time-editing, I finally completed my stop-action attempt one hour later… then my New friend and Mentor DENnis Grice from California, shared this amazing free web tool with me –I was so impressed by its ease and versatility, that I wanted to share it with you!
JellyCam is a free web download to use, simplifying the process of stop action video through your built in webcam, IPEVO or other camera, ( though the flip camera would probably not work so well here). Simply take pictures as fast as you want by hitting your spacebar, or set the time and you can take pictures automatically.
JellyCam allows you to save or edit/ duplicate or delete any pictures within the set, as well as export these pictures into a movie format of your choice.
Kick it up a notch! Take your JellyCam pictures against a “Green screen” (YooStar full green screen kit Amazon) to add the next level of video editing! If you are a Mac user, take advantage of the Chromo Key to layer the stop action with another video background. If you area PC user, saddened by the temporary loss of JayCut, you can get great results through Adobe Elements Premier. They offer a free 30 day trial, and the down load is a long process, but if you create something with your kidsthat is impressive, you can use it to convince administration to support the purchase of the program rights, unless they already have a license. But Stay Tuned, JayCut is supposed to be offered again at a whole new level of excellence – we will have to keep our eyes on when Blackberry reopens the site for new members!
I am no pro, but my daughter and I used All these tools together to create this cute video in less than 30 minutes, using a video taken from my ipad upon returning from DENSI in CA as the background, ( yeah... I held the ipad wrong...).
