> This course will give you a hands-on approach to using a variety of free
> multimedia (animation and graphics) software that can be used in a range
> of domain areas. Suitable for technology and arts teachers, we will
> focus on 2D drawing tools (GIMP and Inkscape), 2D Animation (Pencil) and
> 3D animation (Anim8or). This software is FREE for students to use at
> home and at school. This course is suitable for teachers of Upper
> Primary – VCE. No previous experience with these software tools is
> necessary, although you will require a laptop (with power) for use
> during the day.

> Ross has taught in both Australia and the UK and is currently the
