iMotion is an app that facilitates the process of creating time-lapse and stop motion animations with various objects in your classroom.  It is a great way to engage your students and give them hands on opportunities with their own creations, technology and multimedia. In addition, it can open the door to storytelling.

Thanks to iMotion, students can be given a theme and be asked to create their own narratives or stories in the form of a storyboard allowing them to visually reflect on the sequence of the story and how it will be displayed (similar to aspects of mind-mapping). In addition, with the iMotion app students are then allowed to capture and present their work to one another in a fun way.
