“Stop-motion animation as an educational tool creates big results in the learning process and give my students an opportunity to be animation heroes”- Macedonia | daily edventures:



It’s no surprise that an art teacher would employ stop-motion animation to teach art – it’s a creative solution for a creative subject. What is surprising, though, is the way Macedonian teacher Darko Taleski has used the approach to help teach math, science, language and other subjects – twelve in all.  Taleski may have stumbled on one of the most unique ways to engage animation-loving primary students in learning. The process encompasses storytelling, quizzes, interactive lessons, feedback and competition and helps students develop critical thinking and other 21^st century skills. Taleski was recognized last month at the Microsoft Partners in Learning European Forum in Lisbon (winner, Educators’ Choice award). We asked him to share more about stop-motion animation as an educational tool and what the program has meant to the rural schools where he teaches.
