Here we are involved in animating. This lesson complements the previous video that dealt with the topic of using the slideshow. This naturally is the 2Simpler version of Flash, purely for children -so: consider how Flash looks then 2Animate in a 2Simpler sense. 

I hope this video will facilitate your entry into the Mash project work at Bryneven. It is the dynamic movement of picture that forms the basis of this work (video). In particular, here we have improved sharing and collaboration opportunities via Purple Mash’s cloud dynamic.

 The value of Mash Mash -of course- is that it creates confidence through the nature of what it is: design and 21st century child-centredness, living in the cloud. The evidence is what it brings to creativity viz., the enthusiasm in using the 2animate tool. 

It is a bit necessary to encourage children to use the range of  tools available in PM: they lead us towards a bright future of learning and active learning. Lets Remind ourselves: We are inclined to forget the tool, FOR A WHILE: 2Animate has - once again - regains a place in this moment, the last week of term 3 -with much enthusiasm. I am alluding back into our history i.e., in 2018 we created a short video about animation with 2Animate.

  In this section, we make use of the export button: that takes us to the downloaded,  animated GIF file. 

Simplicity, child-friendly design, and cloud-friendly engagement makes sharing and collaboration easier. 2Animate offers our children a simple tool: a new way to explore animating skills. I forgot to mention the possibility of adding a sound recording into the animation work.

Please have fun! The children we teach and most teachers, have to take into account the tools, resources -accumulate what is found at the end of this rainbow. Purple Mash promotes, with its features - points us towards project work (education).
