An Information Society

an information society is a society or subculture where the usage, creation, distribution, manipulation, and integration of information is a significant activity

Effective decision-making requires people to consider alternative states of the world and the likely benefits and costs of different actions. Decision-making requires workers to synthesize information, apply knowledge to new situations, and test and evaluate evidence

students must be able to take a broad view of the ideas and practices that define the field

The Role Of The Computer In The Classroom

Graphic art software[1] is a subclass of application software used for graphic design, multimedia development, stylized image development, technical illustration, general image editing, or simply to access graphic files. Art software uses either raster graphics or vector graphics reading and editing methods to create, edit, and view art.

The academy award winning film Flow (Straume) was made entirely in Blender using the EEVEE render engine.[163][164] It received two nominations at the 97th Academy Awards, winning for Best Animated Feature.[12]

Blender 3d Software - The Greatest Software Of All Time? Already?

Due to its free and open source nature, Blender has become the primary software of introductory 3D art, animation, visualization, and 3D printing courses at institutions including the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor[165]

Blender 3d is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, and virtual reality. It is also used in creating video games. its Grease Pencil tools allow for 2D animation within a full 3D pipeline.

Programs like Blender allow for people who can not afford expensive animation and rendering software to be able to work in a similar manner to those who use the commercial grade equipment.[60]

A Revolution in Education

the information age coincides with the proliferation of computing tools that allow students and learners a greater range of freedom

Using graphic art software may be more efficient than rendering using traditional media by needing less eye–hand coordination and less mental imaging skill, and using the computer's quicker (sometimes more accurate) automated rendering functions to create images.

Technology Centers For Students - Computer Labs

Policies likely to strengthen U.S. ability to lead world in science & technology: Increase federal government funding to improve k-12 stem education, make technical/vocational education programs tuition-free, Create science and technology centers in more communities across the country.

Computer Proficiency

"A robust and concerted effort to address our nation's STEM talent crisis is critical for the United States to lean fully into its logstanding strategic approaches, thus ensuring it remains a global S&E disocvery powerhouse" the National Science Board wrote in a raecent policy brief. "dramatically and quickly improving the STEM educatin trajectories for over 54 million primary and secondary school students is essential"

"My biggest concern about the future of American science and technology is the size and quality of the workforce going forward. We need more, not fewer, young investigators"

3-d Mesh/ Plastic Arts Activity

3-d mesh modeling is the process of developing a mathematical, wireframe representation of any three-dimensional object, called a "3D model", via specialized software. Models may be created automatically or manually; the manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting.

Programs like Blender allow for people who can not afford expensive animation and rendering software to be able to work in a similar manner to those who use the commercial grade equipment.[60]

The basic object used in mesh modeling is a vertex, a point in three-dimensional space. Two vertices connected by a straight line become an edge. Three vertices, connected to each other by three edges, define a triangle, Four sided polygons (generally referred to as quads)[1][2] and triangles are the most common shapes used in polygonal modeling

THE 3D CAMERA: IS a 3D object that functions like a real-world camera, and can be used to view and render a scene from its perspective. a virtual camera system aims at controlling a camera or a set of cameras to display a view of a 3D virtual world

Learning in Blender 4.5

Models can be viewed from a variety of angles, usually simultaneously. Models can be rotated and the view can be zoomed in and out.

Programs like Blender allow for people who can not afford expensive animation and rendering software to be able to work in a similar manner to those who use the commercial grade equipment.[60]

A Revolution in Interactivity

The word techne comes from the Greek word for art, skill, craft, and technique. The modern-day English word technology comes from the prefix techne and the suffix ology; both words are of Greek origin combined to mean "the practical application of knowledge".[7]

This Year, students will be importing their 3d creations from blender, into game engines such as Godot and Unreal Engine

students have already begun to prototype ideas for their first game-level, using simple tools in blender 4.5. students had a lot of fun! the ultimate video game, is the program that creates the video game
