Hi Fifth Graders,

8:56 am Morah Eileen and I are so excited! We are now learning about Ujam. http://www.ujam.com/ It is a site where you can make music. The speaker suggests it be used for making songs. This might be a great idea for your country technology project. If you try it be sure to add your thought on it here. :)

10:10 =Pivot Stickfigure Animator=

create animated cartoons
Our Rating: (Good+) Popularity: **10****/10** Pivot Stickfigure Animator is a unique software, that allows you to create stick figure animations easily and without any artistic skills. You can move the sections of the sick figure and easily create a chain of animation frames that can be previewed as you go. You can use more than one stick-figure in the animation, and even create your own stick figures using an easy to use visual editor that lets you assemble objects out of lines and circles. In addition, you can optionally set animation size, speed and more. The result can be saved as animated GIF file. Fun and easy to use, surprisingly well featured.
