At Screencastify, we’re all about helping educators and students become confident creators. That’s why we’re thrilled to share a fun, effective way to elevate learning: stop motion animation using Google Slides and Screencastify!
In our latest video, we walk you through how this dynamic duo can turn any lesson into an interactive, student-led experience. Whether you're teaching ELA, math, science, or social studies, stop motion animation helps students visualize and explain concepts in a way that sticks.
Empower Students as Co-Creators
Learning is at its best when students are actively involved. With stop motion, students take on the role of creators, not just consumers of information. From animating vocabulary terms and telling original stories, to modeling scientific processes or solving math problems step by step—this approach makes abstract ideas concrete and deepens understanding.
Simple Tools, Big Impact
You don’t need fancy software to get started. All you need is:
- Google Slides for creating animations
- Screencastify to record the animations and add voiceovers
- A little creativity (which students have plenty of!)
In the video, we show you step-by-step how to create a stop motion project—plus how to export it as a GIF or QR code for seamless sharing in presentations, digital portfolios, or even printed handouts.
Why It Works
✅ Boosts creativity and critical thinking
✅ Helps students communicate their ideas clearly
✅ Works across all grade levels and subjects
✅ Great for choice-based assignments or project-based learning
✅ Engages even the most reluctant learners
