This will make a difference to my students because for the first 9 weeks we will not be in the classroom. Having these drawing tablets will give them the experience of learning animation software but still being hands-on and engaging.
After teaching animation for three years, having drawing tablets will cut multiple steps out of the animation process; no more of taking pictures of drawings, they can just draw directly into to the software.
This will give the students an opportunity to learn industry standard skills that they could use to become content creators of animation for their communities. They can also explore all the new career opportunities that combine technology, visual arts and STEM career fields.
