I'm working on a Blender course for my high school, and a few years back I helped students get started with Blender and they developed a simple game. They were able to cover all the areas of graphics & art through to programming & game design. One of these students is now trying to put together stuff on Waddell 3D (<a href="http://www.waddell3d.com/">http://www.waddell3d.com/</a>).<br>

Right now, my students are learning the basic navigation and editing tools on how to model. After the Easter break, they will start working on their character, which will be animated to walk and then composited it into a piece of video footage. Hopefully, we will have time so that I can demonstrate about shadows and lighting to make the character look part of the video.<br>

</div>Will you guys please trim your emails! It is really hard to find the<br>
next comment when the email is 10 pages long. Thanks.<br>

I think any teacher that avoids playing is really missing the whole<br>
point of play. It is natures tool to help youngsters learn. It is fun<br>
and the fastest way to learn. Computer games can abuse this but in a<br>
school with a good teacher there is nothing better! What better way to<br>
teach a teenager than to ask him to animate or program is favorite<br>
game character or game and then teach him how?<br>
