Como não faço mais parte da equipe escolar e depois de grande decepção, venho aqui colocar meu novo contato. A todos meu muito obrigado pelo incentivo, aliás estou procurando emprego e ao mesmo tempo redirecionando meus trabalhos para o site que estou criando. Não gostaria de acabar com o trabalho que começamos, digo isso também pelo Paulo que tenho certeza de ter a mesma opinião que eu. Foi muito gratificante ver as crianças se deliciarem com o Blender e gostaria muito de continuar esse e outros trabalhos. Quem sabe um dia. Um grande abraço a todos. Kleber Boas a todos!

(you know how this trail of money and corruption goes on)... but the difference is not in politicians (everywhere in the world they're the synonym to corruption). the difference is that there's lack of People (with a capital 'P') like these two teachers the word "congratulations" is not adequate for the exceptional work of mr paulo and kleber. they honour their service. i wish all the world's children had teachers like them. and, let's not forget a big bravo to all blender contributors. alas, where i live, we have politicians that are m$' puppets and… (you know how this trail of money and corruption goes on)… but the difference is not in politicians (everywhere in the world they're the synonym to corruption). the difference is that there's lack of People (with a capital 'P') like these two teachers

It is a highschool level and I am having trouble getting some students to follow tutorials and "experiment" with Blender. Does anyone know how they taught the students step-by-step? I am always looking for easy to follow tutorials to help my students. I am new to blender myself so any help would be appreciated. I also use blender to teach my multimedia class.

We like it because its free, fast to use and can easily be adapted to work with our game development concentrations.

I offer Blender for 3D animation at the high school level - starting at grd. 9 through 12. It surprising how quickly students can learn the basics and run with it. Your post gives me some good ideas for introducing Blender 3D to the grade 8's..thnks and keep us posted! Hey there Kleber & Paulo..thnks for sharing your experience using Blender with your students.

I have talked with the C.G.I. artist, and he used Blender to model all of it! Check it out, RidgelineTV One of our local High-Schools has a television program that has a really neat graphic intro.

I've been using Blender in my classroom for about four years now. In fact the kids made snowmen this week. I've had fourth graders make a 3d solar system and taught them ratios and fraction to decimal conversion in scaling the planets to their proper size relative to earth. I also use it to teach geometry and perspective. This year we had elections in the U.S. and I used the game engine to make polling stations so the kids could vote. When they selected their candidate a python script logged their selection into a text document on the school server so all we have to do to tally our votes was to check the files. I also made a math racing game where there was a maze and doors, and to open the doors the kids had to answer random math problems. Blender is an amazing teaching tool. i just got my Yo Frankie! DVD and am looking forward to studying it to see what I can learn to make even better educational games. The new game engine is going to an amazing tool, and I bet Yo Frankie can be modded to be educational and make it fun for the kids to learn. ysvry: Actually what recently I have been experimenting with the idea of interfacing the Opensource Arduino Micro controller with Blender through python. It should be possible to control a custom made robot through Blender, or to make custom controllers (A la Wii, or whatever your brain can come up with) to control Blender as well. It is an exciting time for opensource. Thanks for great post! Nice! I've been using Blender in my classroom for about four years now. In fact the kids made snowmen this week.
