helpful. I love the inclusion of the tutorials on the website and would like to see a platform for other instructors to post their best work/instructional videos. I love to watch other people instruct. Although I have been taught in a more technologically
advanced urban area, I teach now to a very small school with a very strong visual arts program. I want to be able to connect my students to a larger art community and show them how diverse and interesting this avenue of visual arts can be.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Saying so, I would like to already thank to those who gave some hints and shared some knowledge to this list. We have so many different skills and experiences that collecting this is definitely a good first step.<br>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#351C75">Ad4. The main course are usually Blender basics, which covers creating static content; extended course includes animation, game, vfx and simulations as well<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#351C75">Ad5. Worst thing is to allow people to drift away with long-standing projects, when they have not enough experience and are not well motivated; best thing is to work on small
projects thorough constant improvements done in steps with supervising - starting from modeling, lighting, texturing to rendering and post processing. Usually artists are thinking in different ways than architects and scientists.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#351C75">Ad6. Video tutorials are the best valuable tool for me, but for deaf people they do not work; preparing narrated video tutorial along with textual transcription seems to be
winning for every audience. So, I have more than 260 tutorials recorded already, for Polish community, and all of them are free to use.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
Just a quick note so you all know the list is alive!<br>
<br>
The Blender Conference was awesome, and a lot of time was spent on education and training topics as well. Several people expressed the need to activate this list a bit, and/or to coordinate efforts better here and on Blender Network.<br>
<br>
In the next days/weeks I expect the feedback to become shared here as well, ands hopefully we can get a couple of nice projects setup to help each other better.<br>
<br>

Hi Doug,<br>
<br>
I have an entire Blender course written for the Australian Curriculum, and<br>
I'm happy to share. Even though I'm teaching in secondary school the first<br>
half could easily be used with primary students.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi Guys<br>
<br>
I teach L1A & L1B (Year 10 & 11) students Blender. They love it, and have come up with some great designs within a short time.<br>
<br>
The newest version is so much easier to teach as well.<br>
<br>

Hi Everyone,<br>
I have enjoyed watching all of the conference presentations this weekend. I was really looking forward to the education talk and I am looking for where the guys in the audience are having their discussion. I am a primary school teacher in Australia, I have
had growing success with Blender and have a few ideas on where the best place to start with very young Blender users. I think that although Blender has many different facets there are some core skills and knowledge that effect nearly all aspects of the program.
I have also found that there are some definite no nos when starting kids off with Blender many I have committed and in doing so killed a lot of the kids motivation through frustration. This is entirely the fault of the teacher (me) not the program but I began
to think after the conference talk that if I had a curriculum to work to as I do for math, science etc. I could have avoid these pitfalls. I applaud all the speakers for their work in blender education, I now ex<br>
tra ideas for projects and I am humbled by the guys who run the free not for profit course. I was perhaps most fascinated by the audience contributions and would like to participate in a discussion like this. So if anyone could point me in the right direction
I would be very grateful.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Doug Sutherland<br>
