<p>I applaud the efforts on B3d101.org. It is nice to see some of
these resources in one place.<br>
</p>
<p>When teaching children 10-18 years old, I would suggest that the
initial introduction to animation needs to be more simple than
some of what I see on b3d101.org. Content needs to be provided in
chucks of 10 minutes or less, and it needs to produce something
that provides a sense of accomplishment. I have had good success
with kids and the following:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_czEwoBQWYs">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_czEwoBQWYs</a>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfMoRvWkkwo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfMoRvWkkwo</a>. <br>
</p>
<p>When I look at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://cgcookie.com/flow/introduction-to-blender/">https://cgcookie.com/flow/introduction-to-blender/</a>
I get a set of categories, but it gives me the impression of
needing to put in 40 minutes or more to learn anything at all. I
have found I can get people hooked if I can get them to spend 5
minutes on a tutorial that shows them how they can create
something of their own. I tend to slide in the "here's the user
interface" with the "let's make something fun" part rather than
the other way around.</p>
<p>I'd love to contribute the materials I have created and have
someone else use or refine them.<br>
