There were 12 pairs of preservice teachers involved in the study and all were able to use the camera in a mobile phone to take the images for their slowmation. In most cases the preservice teachers held the phone in their hand to take the photos whilst the children made the small manual movements for the animation. Some of the topics prepared for teaching were Electricity for Year 4, Life Cycles for year 3, Garden Animals for Kindergarten, Back to Nature for year 1, Magnetism for year 3 and Living Things for year 6. Examples of slowmations from kindergarten and Year 4 classes will be presented highlighting their use of the mobile phone cameras followed by a case study showing the use of the phones for taking photos in more detail.
