   Con,                                                                         
   We offer Blender at our school.  The students were quite impressed by        
   its capabilities and initially blown away by what seemed to be its           
   complexities but after some practice they managed ok.                        
   We are currently seeking funding from ASISTM for a two year Blender          
   Project with Deakin Uni, Industry and several other Victorian                
   schools.                                                                     
   Last year at the VITTA Conference I presented a short one hour session       
   only (I had no choice), and the interest was significant.  Teachers          
   wanted more so this year I am offering a two hour session on Blender         
   at the 2006 VITTA Conference.                                                
   You only have to look at the number of downloads of the Blender              
   software on the Blender site to realise that it's quite a good               
   software tool used not only in education but in industry as well.            
   Year 8 upwards.

   Some export formats are shown below.

Zach, 

this pretty much flows in with my understanding of where Blender is at. 

It seems that it's rate of increase in functionality and usability has far
outstripped that for proprietary products in recent years. 

Having said that, I still find it too hard to use - my brain isn't what it
once was ;-)

Still, some of the visuals are simply stunning:

Well done in your efforts to make Blender known in the educational 
community.

Cheers,
