NETS and Claymation

The claymation project addressed a number of NETS standards for students. The standards are addressed by number and letter according to the NETS outline:

Standard 1b was addressed because students created an original piece of work within a cooperative group effort.

Standard 2b was also addressed by allowing students to use different processes in creating these original works which communicated ideas.

Standard 2d was reached because students worked in cooperative groups and used unique ways of communicating ideas.

Standard 4b was addressed because students were required to develop a plan and adapt it to developing their project. Students were also required to manage the groups times and activities to complete the project in a timely manner.

Standard 5b: Since students were allowed to create unique projects in a group format, they also were responsible for making sure that projects were appropriate and represented the groups opinion of how to communicate information responsibly.

Standard 6c/d: Students developed plans based on their own knowledge and created animation using different types of media. Integrating the different types of media can sometimes be difficult and problem solving was used to edit and complete the projects.
