Do any of you teach or know some one here who teaches game dev or 3-D modeling in school? I ask because my teach and I are trying to start a class at my school on game dev and 3-D modeling.

If you already have a teacher, why do you need another teacher? Teaching is bascially the same for most subjects...

Wow, I don't think you're a teacher.

Well, FINN MAN, I would begin like this : ask first what the pupils would like the most to do (give them some options, but not lettin the choice totally free), then you shall teach them the basics, ask them to make a flowchart, and after that they shall have the documents and books with all commands, while they sit at the computer.

Divide the class into sections. Those who already know how to program and those who don't. And everybody in between can just pick one.

But then again, that just focuses on programming games.

It might be interesting to have different people teacher different aspects of development like art, modelling/texturing, sound design, programming, music composition, etc. Then the students of each different section can form together in "teams" and each group at the end of the semester will have one big projects to present. They have to design it very thoroughly or else you will fail them!

My school started something similiar, mostly by the students. By the time I heard of it, they all fell apart due to conflicting schedules. But they started out by making a mod for Tribes. Once familiar with game concepts they were going to move onto c++ with opengl.

Flowcharts is like a whole other class of systems analysis.
