Using an iPad and Clay, I created a Stop Motion Pencil Dancing Animation because It shows a great story of dancing pencils.

During this process, I learned how to create a stop motion animation.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to these standards because I'm an empowered learner, because I knew what I wanted to make, and I'm a digital citizen, because I did not directly copy anybody, I'm a knowledge constructor because I learned how to fix and add things. I'm a innovative designer, because I made a original project, made by myself. I'm a computational thinking, because I used technology to take the pictures, and design the video and Im a creative communicator because I made a story using stop motion, and I uploaded all my work onto a public website, meaning I'm a global collaborator.

A challenge I overcame on this project was lack of ideas and time. I was able to do it by making something simpler, and working from home a little.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change my project idea, because I think it was a little lazy. The reason why I would change it is because its pretty lacking in quality.
