Take It Easy Award Winners

Alright Kdanimators, the Take It Easy animation challenge is finally over!

Time to stop slaving away on your animations and finally take it easy for real (pun most intended). We know it’s been a long, tough ride for many of you as you squeezed out your 6-second magnum opus, but we hope that Animation Desk made the messy creative process smoother, and easier for you.

Now before you get all teary-eyed, it’s time to kick back, relax, and read on as we unveil the Take It Easy Judge Award and Audience Award winners.

BYOD – The Secret to Building a Superior Learning Environment in Your School

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a movement that’s been gaining momentum in office workspaces for a number of years now. But schools have been slow to adopt it so far, possibly because school administrators don’t have a clear idea of what BYOD can do for them.

Oh, and you get to break your previous record on Candy Crush while setting next year’s KPI targets.
