HUE Animation Cameras Are An Invaluable Tool In My Classroom
Written by Brett Mullins, Somerset Primary School, Tasmania.
As a STEM educator working with children from Prep to Grade Six, I have found the HUE Animation cameras to be an invaluable tool in my classroom. Over the past four years, as a digital technologies teacher, I have never had a child say they were not interested in using the HUE cameras and animation. The HUE cameras consistently captivate my students, encouraging them to explore their creativity through stop motion animation and video projects.
Part of my teaching philosophy centers around the use of digital media and fostering a cooperative learning environment. The HUE cameras align perfectly with this philosophy. The built-in microphone and ability to magnify details have enhanced our lessons, allowing students to see and hear their work with exceptional clarity. The software that accompanies the HUE cameras is incredibly easy to use, not only for the children but also for new teachers to the HUE program. The flexibility of the cameras allows us to use them from a variety of angles, which significantly enhances the children's animations. We use everyday objects, clay, LEGO, paper, and foil, just to name a few, to create engaging and imaginative projects.
We have entered state animation competitions and consistently achieve top-level results, even competing against high school students who have access to more expensive equipment. We use only the older version of HUE cameras, but it doesn’t matter because the product is amazing. We use the HUE cameras daily with over 370 children, and they have become a staple in my teaching toolkit and part of a 10-week program. Whether it's for recording videos, taking pictures, or especially for stop motion animation, the HUE cameras consistently deliver high-quality performance.
They are easy to set up and use, making them accessible for both teachers and students. The results are outstanding, even for children who have difficulties in the classroom, as they can tell their own story, in a different, unique way. The HUE Animation setup and program help them focus as it promotes self-directed and creative learning. I can set a task or show a skill, and the children make it their own—there is no wrong way.
The HUE product is faultless in delivering excellence. I highly recommend the HUE animation cameras and software to any educator looking to enrich their classroom experience. They are truly awesome and have made a significant positive impact on our students' learning journey at every level. The HUE product is the best on the market that I have ever used. Thanks HUE 🙂
