“Get Schools Animating Initiative 2009" Launched in Ireland - iKITMovie™”

It is now widely accepted that technology is becoming an integral part of the learning environment. There is a drive worldwide ( eg.the United States P21 " The partnership for 21st Century Skills" ) to improve the technology literacy skills of school children. However, it is very important that educators do not teach technology as a subject in isolation. Ideally educators should integrate the appropriate use of technology into the curriculum, thereby enhancing learning of the curriculum content and achieving the best learning outcomes.

A very successful way of integrating technology into the curriculum is through animation.Stop motion animation is regarded as a desirable supplementary cross curriculum educational tool.The creative potential of animation is unlimited and integrating it into any school curriculum or after school activity offers the possibility of exploring every students potential.
Through animation a student will be able to demonstrate:

1. Proficiency in use of computers and applications
2. Understanding the concepts underlining hardware, software and connectivity.
3. The ability to use technology for research.
4. Critical thinking
5. Problem solving
6. Decision making
7. Collaboration, Communication and Creativity
8. Innovation

iKITMovie by IKITSystems Ltd. can facilitate the achievement of these learning outcomes. iKITMovie allows students to create high quality movies quickly and easily thanks to its intuitive interface.
iKITMovie promotes learning through interaction and experimentation. It can be used by all grade levels to incorporate concepts in a number of areas, including the visual arts, science and technology, music, drama and the media.

The highly intuitive editing features such as the image editor and sound FX import allow students to add unlimited sounds, music and voice over. There is no need to export to a post-production tool such as Windows Movie Maker, to add special effects and sound. iKITMovie has 2,200 high quality stereo sound fx and music buit in to the program ready to use.

iKITMovie puts the student in control of the animation rather than the program getting in the way of creativity and learning, by placing all of the tools needed in one application.

iKITMovie is truely a cross curriculum application with links to Multimedia Production coursework, Science, Maths, Geography & History etc.
