For a number of educators across demographics, securing grants and funding can be mission-critical to setting their classroom up for success. Grants can make a significant difference in accessing the best and most relevant classroom technology. The right classroom tech not only fosters creativity and enhances student-teacher connections, but it can also be the missing ingredient to creating better outcomes for students. There is a caveat, however — and it’s that access to grant and funding opportunities is a constantly-evolving landscape that can sometimes involve intensive research.  

Because we realize that things change so quickly, the Wacom for Education team is excited to introduce a refreshed and comprehensive resource tailored specifically for K-12 and CTE educators: the Media Arts and CTE Funding Guide

The guide is designed to streamline the process of finding and securing funding for educational tools, including Wacom devices, which can transform your teaching experience and positively impact student success. This guide is full of essential information and strategies to help educators navigate the complex world of grants and funding more easily, as well as valuable information on how to access the right classroom tech.

Change is scary sometimes. It also requires time. 🫠
For @adam_theillustrator, it took some time to switch the mouse over a stylus, but he never looked back. 💪
Do you remember what it was like for you? How many tries did it take you to master drawing with a tablet? What advice do you have for new users?

How many strokes to draw Rengoku? 🗡️💥❤️‍🔥
@caleo_real did this challenge and the results were..... Interesting 🤯😂
Do you count your strokes? An artist may choose to paint with as few brush strokes as possible for many reasons, including aesthetic effect, style, technique or emotional impact.

One of the most important steps in animation is BLOCKING! 
We asked @fabgioffre to walk us through his process to show you how easy it can be, especially if you're using the right tools like @toonboomanimation and a Wacom tablet (Fabio is using the Movink on this video). 
Head to Fabio's YouTube channel for the full tutorial or head to our stories to get there.
