Hello,<br>
<br>
I’m Josh Archer and I’m a private digital arts tutor based in northern Maine. My background is in television and I have 20 years of experience in video production. I’ve been using Blender since 2010 for commercial production and began teaching Blender to students in grades 4-8 in my area last year while working for a local non profit. This month I’ve started my own private tutoring <a href="https://calfpath.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://calfpath.net</a> for grades 4-12.<br>
<br>
I’d love to help support the Blender community in any fashion.<br>
<br>
The idea of ‘downloadable classes’ Ton mentioned would be great, especially for students in my rural area. As educators, what’s recommended for hosting class files? Is there a plan to host educator profiles at <a href="http://blender.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">blender.org</a>? My apologies if this has already been addressed.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Josh<br>
