<ul>
<li>For teaching Blender3d, you're probably going to want to
have a large template library [ that demos what you want to
teach] with only specific features shown so the user doesn't
get bogged down with button overload. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Probably would be best to create your own source files /
lesson plans (legally yours to license how you wish) and just
link to where to download Blender3d to open the source files</li>
<ul>
<li>Alternatively Blender3d is freely distributable , just
keep Blender3d separate with the GPL license intact and you
should be good. <br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>Certification is not absolutely required - it's actually
quite new - but certifications definitely boosts credibility.
someone else here should be able to list the benifits / length
of turn around time - I'd be interested in this as well. <br>
</li>
<li>I'm not sure about the resubmission... (again, someone else
should know on this mailing list) <br>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Good luck! <br>

I've used Blender for a few years now, but have only done
personal projects. I considered it a hobby. Currently, I work
for a company that educates students ages 4 all the way up to
18 in math and science. I'd like to add Blender to the
company's curriculum, but I'm unsure of a few things and
cannot find answers elsewhere -</div>
