Computer animation breathes life into learning

Kindergartners at Seminole Springs Elementary used software to create a book and learn about adjectives.

A first-grade class at Cypress Ridge Elementary created a Claymation movie to study endangered creatures.

And Astatula Elementary kindergartners made a computerized alphabet book.

The youngest students at these three Lake County elementary schools learned old concepts in a new way. And they did it with the help of some new computer software designed to help children bring clay to life and draw on the computer screen, among other things.
