Many of whom had not used a computer before. <BR/><BR/>When you unpack the skills needed to use software and the sequence in which they have to be introduced and coordinated it is just wondrous that any of the kids I was working with managed to create anything at all. But they did. Perhaps it is young minds and a complete absence of fear.<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of unpacking the steps that lead to walking - or controlled falling if you like. Whenever I look at all the steps needed to animate 3-D characters I am in total awe that I remain upright most of the time.
