Hi again, lovely readers! 🍎

Today, I checked off another fun and creative lesson from the Apple Education Learning Center as part of my Apple Teacher journey—Animate with Stop Motion! And let me tell you… I had a blast! 🤩

The activity taught me how to use everyday objects to tell stories through stop-motion animation. I immediately thought of my quirky little character Perky Piung—of course, I had to try animating her! 🐣✨

🛠️ What I Did:

✅ Set up a basic stop motion scene

✅ Captured images step by step

✅ Used Keynote (yay, previous lesson skills!) to add motion graphics and finesse it all together

Okay, okay… the animation turned out a little jerky 😅 but you know what? I did it! Thanks for my daughter who did the voice over in one of the slides. And that’s what matters. 🎉

💡 What I Learned:

This project reminded me that creativity is often a work in progress. With more time, I know I could plan a storyboard, shoot more carefully, and create a much smoother and more coherent story. But even in a rush, I was able to bring my ideas to life—and that’s powerful! 🧠💥

🎈 Teaching Ideas:

Stop motion is such a great way to help students:

🎥 Tell stories visually

🎭 Express creativity

📚 Understand sequences and timelines

🧩 Break down complex ideas into steps

It’s hands-on, meaningful, and honestly… just plain fun! 😄

If you’re a teacher on the Apple Education journey, definitely give this one a go. Your inner child will thank you—and so will your students. 😉

Until next time, keep learning and creating! 🎨💻

Love,

Teacher Asniem 🍎✨
