[Bf-education] books for students?

[info at macouno.com]

Hello everyone.

 I had a brief exchange with Ton about Blender education.

 I'm teaching some 3d now, and perhaps Blender specifically in the near
future, but that is still uncertain.

 I've been thinking about all this and reading some posts.

 There's quite a few posts about certification and online lesson
publishing. But I don't think certification would really help much since blender is not in
wide use as yet and in the "creative" branches portfolios are a lot more important
than software specific certificates.

 Online Lessons are a nice idea but I think that'd fit in with the ideas
about a default format for tutorials. And there are plenty tutorials out there already.

 The only really helpful contribution that could be made now by the Blender Foundation
I think would be the option for educators to buy larger numbers of the blender manual at a discount.
