Color Scheme Generators

Teaching students to work with color is such an important part of a design education. I usually begin the school year with a project requiring the application of a color harmony so that students begin to understand how to choose colors that go well together. I've found a couple of fantastic resources for generating color schemes that I love to use with my students:

Kuler.com - Absolutely amazing tool!! Needs the newest Flash player to run.

Color Scheme Designer 3 - A little different than Kuler.com, but still really cool.

Tech Training Resources

Two great resources for learning software skills:

Lynda.com - Thousands of video tutorials. Unlimited access for $25 a month.

Bay Area Video Coalition - Train the Teacher (T3) - Free training classes for educators.

Inside look at creating animation, Walt Disney style

This is an amazing video to share with students about old-school animation techniques.
