BETT 2007
Tuesday, January 23, 2007 - Permalink
January 10th - 13th, Olympia London -
At this year's BETT show in London, our friends from Cleveratom showed off iStopMotion at the Create at BETT booth. They were helped by students from King Harolds School: "As ever, King Harold School pupils were brilliant! Their enthusiasm, infectious energy and determination to succeed meant that the stand never had a dull moment", writes Hal Maclean. Digitalcreativity.org reports:
At the other end of the stand young people worked to demonstrate the brilliant iStopMotion animation software and the potential for using creative technology in the classroom. iStopMotion is so simple and easy to use, yet so powerful too. A wonderful piece of innovative software.

O'Reilly Radar: "Why Johnny Can't Program"
Friday, January 19, 2007 - Permalink
Nat Torkington, writing for the O'Reilly Radar, thinks that using iStopMotion builds essential skills for programmers and used it in a three week computer class for 7 to 10 year old students from his kid's primary school who aspired to learn programming:
Programming is all about reducing big problems to small and easy tasks. So I paired up kids on two Macs I brought from home, and we used iStopMotion to build stop-motion animations. This teaches them to think in terms of small steps, while at the same time they become familiar with the computers. And, best of all, it's enormous fun.
