Digital Kids Tech camp

For part of my technology specialization I am helping with the digital kids technology camp. This is our second day and it has been a fun learning experience. Before we started the summer camp we learned a little bit about making video games and other animation programs. We used scratch, gamemaker, pivot, garage band, and Imovie. While preparing for camp I made short platform and maze games, I don't think that I excelled at this very much. I really liked working with Imovie though, I made a clay animation movie with my friend Michelle; it was a Gumby movie. I also made a cut paper animation video with cutting clips out a magazine. I used Godzilla, the donkey from Shrek and a character from flushed away. Preparing for the camp was a fun learning experience... the kids at the camp caught on so much faster than I did though!
