In my 7th and 8th grade Digital Media classes, I incorporate animation into our Photoshop experience. In the tutorials below, frame animation, video overlay, and rotoscope techniques are demonstrated. Once the students experiment with each technique, they choose one method as a focus to create a finished composition.

Check out this rotoscope version of a "Twenty-One Pilots" music video below. It was a great inspiration for my students!
These are also great techniques for you to use when demonstrating art concepts. What other techniques have you seen to teach animation?
Theresa,
Since you reported the hack to your blog, my RSS feed still shows code instead of the text and images.
Are others seeing the same thing?
Thanks for all you do🎨😃

Lisa,
Yes – working on the code showing in RSS and email – no idea why it does that :/ We rebuilt the blog from scratch so that is all good. Thanks for feedback – I really appreciate it!
