SAM Animation

Putting students' ideas in motion

SAM Animation is a desktop application that allows users -- young and old -- to capture a series of still images from a webcam that can then be played back in movie form -- it's kind of like a digital flip-book! SAM -- which stands for "stop-action-movies" -- was developed by Tufts University with the support of the National Science Foundation, and as of 2011 is exclusively licensed to iCreate to Educate, a young company dedicated to giving students the tools to drive their own learning in the K-12 classroom.

All product support, partnership opportunities, feature requests, and general questions should be directed to info@icreatetoeducate.com. Most support information and examples on how this tool is used in the classroom can be found directly on their website: www.icreatetoeducate.com.
