    Beyond Words, a new publication from UKLA (http://www.ukla.org/publications/view/beyond_words_developing_childrens_understanding_of_multimodal_texts/) has some fascinating examples of moving image production work by young children on its linked microsite. Check it out!

    Clifford Cohen and Joy Simpson (both member of this group) have written interesting articles in the latest issue of PoV (at http://themea.org/pov/volume-2-issue-2-3/). Clifford makes an argument for classical drawn 2D animation as the best starting-point for learning about animation (in contrast to most schools who seem to use 3D plasticine…[Read more]

    I guess it’s an idea to put it in the links section anyway but we need to be able to add links to groups too…

    Ah no – links disappear – do I need to do it in html or does it have to go on the links part (which would make sense!?

      This is a serious problem that needs addressing – I’ve had this problem in the cretaing media group too that was why I put the vimeo group in the header – but that’s not an option here…

    Hi Joy – the link isn’t there – can you try putting it in again – let me know if you have problems. Also it would be good for this group to have some tags attached so that more people can find it.

    We created a vimeo channel for the schools to share their animations as part of the Persistece of Vision animation project. Do have a look and leave comments for the children.

    Has anyone tried Muvizu at http://www.muvizu.com/ ? It looks really interesting.

      Yes I’ve downloaded it. Maybe I was a bit over-ambitious – I tried to create a virtual ICT suite with a virtual me in it so I could leave little animations for cover teachers to show the kids – I personally found aspects of it easy and powerful and other aspects impenetrable. All in all not as easy as the site makes out IMO.

    Here in New Zealand at Kapiti College, I have just had a Level 1 Media Studies Course approved for 2011 that includes a unit of work on animation. Plan is for the students to create a short animation using Macs. Any advice? Help? Assistance?
    This a new venture so am feeling my way….

      Great site. I’ve been searching for sound effects and background music but hadn’t come across this one. Thanks Joy.

        Do you know Incomptech as well Brendan? It is the best site I have come across so far for royalty free music and is constantly being added to. This music is the music library that is in the wonderful animation prog Zu3d.
        it can be found at

          Hadn’t come across Incomptech or Zu3D. Have checked them both out and Incomptech will be very useful. I like the Zu3D software, but we use Digital Blue cameras and the software that comes with them, which is pretty good. The children love the various special effects available!
          Many thanks,
          Brendan
