[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 70, Issue 5

Sat Aug 27 10:05:03 CEST 2011

I support James Halliwell's excellent suggestion.  I too teach Blender at SNHU and joined this forum for sharing educational information, not as a pool for free labor.

Asking myself questions. I joined this group because the focus was Blender 3D education matters and promotion of Blender at an educational level, As a Blender Instructor ( not yet certified with BF ), Am I wrong? Is this thread about BF Education or soliciting free labor. To quote from the body of text "Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity and time to teach people for this project." Could I suggest you make the time?
Well I do not have time to work for free either. Is it wrong to expect that people ( Blender Artists ) who have worked hard to learn the skills that are being sought here would at some point earn money for said skill?

I suggest a BF free labor pool user group. Better yet craigslist.

Would it be  possible to keep on track here a bit?
