SAM Animation

Wednesday, February 22, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Museum of Science

Explore SAM Animation, a unique stop-motion software developed by educators for educators at Tufts University that provides flexible and creative ways to engage students in science, math, and engineering explorations. By capturing a series of still images frame by frame, stop-motion technology allows learners to represent their thinking in the form of a movie, like a digital flipbook.

Create an animation you can share with your students, and leave with ideas about how this software can support your students' learning. Our staff will also provide an overview of the services and programs available in the Educator Resource Center in the Lyman Library, emphasizing support for teachers as learners.

Funding for SAM Animation provided by the National Science Foundation. It is compatible with both Mac and PC computers. A demo version of the software is available. Co-presenters are from iCreate, a Tufts spin-off company that offers teachers professional development and support.

Overview of Educator Workshops

Professional Development for educators is a priority of the CEEO. We offer week-long workshops during the summer as well as day long workshops during the year. Workshops are structured to allow participants to engage in similar activities to their students. Most of the time is spent on hand-on activities and understanding how to present engineering to students - there is very little traditional lecture.

Curriculum Workshops
The CEEO is involved in several grant-funded curriculum development projects. Each curriculum developed at the CEEO goes through a series of tests and refinements in real classrooms. The CEEO occasionally offers workshops for teachers focused on a specific curriculum once it has been classroom-tested.
 
Single Session Workshops
Throughout the academic year, the CEEO offers single session Saturday and evening professional development workshops. These sessions cover a variety of topics to introduce educators to the LEGO toolkit, other tools developed by the CEEO, or refresh skills developed at the summer institute. Examples of workshops include Introduction to the NXT, ROBOLAB Refresher, and NXT-G Refresher.
 
On-Site Professional Development

The CEEO is also available for on-site professional development. For more information please contact Elissa Milto at elissa.milto@tufts.edu
