Once selected, they left click with their mouse on the canvas and drag the object to the desired size.
• Animate the object: Students press record and then move each object to create animation tracks. They will need to explore quite a bit to create their animations and feel satisfied, before emailing them as ecards. They are not editable once they have been sent, so students may start an animation a few times over until they feel satisfied that they have created the world they wanted.
• Email and share: When students email the animation as an ecard, recipients will be able to see the animation and its URL. Ask students to forward the email to you. Share students’ animations and celebrate their work.
