  abstract =     "One of the major problems facing educators who teach
                 computer animation is how to balance the technical and
                 conceptual skills required to produce effective
                 computer animation in a manner that is holistic. Often
                 a single class cannot deal with both the conceptual and
                 technical issues involved. When courses are offered
                 separately, often students don't make the connections
                 between them. By threading the course objectives across
                 multiple classes, students are exposed to the {\em
                 connections\/} between concepts and technology, and are
                 challenged to build their own 'conceptual bridges' to
                 integrate ideas and techniques. This article addresses
                 issues specific to teaching computer animation: how do
                 you introduce students to all of the technical and
                 conceptual aspects of animation in a way that will
                 empower them to produce meaningful work?The Computer
                 Animation Department at Ringling School of Art and
                 Design has three required courses for the major in the
                 fall semester of the sophomore year. These courses
                 serve as an introduction to animation techniques and
                 processes which students use throughout the curriculum.
                 The courses are Computer Animation I, Concept
                 Development I and Traditional Animation I. For the past
                 two years, the faculty has been working on threading
                 the course objectives in order to make students aware
                 of the concepts and principles that are interwoven
                 throughout the computer animation curriculum. This
                 'threaded curriculum' is a work in progress. Our
                 initial goals are to define the groupings of course
                 objectives that the classes have in common, and to
                 begin to track the connections. As we continue to
                 refine the process, we are seeing more ways in which
                 the connections can be made deeper, and we have also
                 identified problem areas where the threading does not
                 seem to be as complete.",
