The media we consume makes an impact, and the cartoons children watch are formative. I've always considered animation and storytelling to be an amazing language and communication tool. Now, in a time where representation and communication is paramount, I make it my responsibility to give my kids the tools to not just be adept but successful in these skills.
These tablets will give students the opportunity to explore and present their own stories and truths to an audience of their peers and community. This will be accomplished through various animation projects, digital drawing and painting activities, as well as digital portfolio building for students to carry through their art education career.
