Today I played around on a program called Tux Painting. It was a really quick download, and has different things offered depending which kind of computer you will be playing off of. It only took about a minute or so to download and be read for use! So if you're wanting something now, this is it!
I love playing with random apps on phones for painting, so I figured it would be more fun on a computer since the screen is about 20 times bigger! When I first clicked on it, I didn't think I would really play with it that long. However, once I started playing with the different brushes and tools I started having a lot of fun! I think this program would be great for children! It seems that children love using technology, and if they could do painting projects on the computer, that's one less mess around the house! Although painting with a brush and paper has it's own fun aspects, this computer program is also a lot of fun! This was a neat program, and I did spend an hour playing on it, however I don't know how many more times I would really use it considering I'm 22 with no children, so I plan to also look at some of the other tools, sites that were offered by our teacher! I hope you can have as much fun on Tux Painting as I did!
I don't know how to save the photo from tux paint into a place so that I can upload it onto here, but I will work on that and get up my MASTERPIECE! :)

Congratulations on your King! I hope to get one next weekend.
ReplyDeleteI picked TUX Paint too. I have come to enjoy the tool greatly. Kindergarten is my prefered age group. I think that TuxPAint will be I use often while teaching. It's seeme like it will be a fun way to introduce technology into the classroom while keeping the students attention!
I haven't figured out how to get my pictures off Tux Paint either (is it even possible?). I didn't think there was much to it at first, but once I downloaded the stamp pack the next hour flew by (especially since I had a 6 year old to play with). I think this would be a great tool for you to use in the early-childhood classrooms. It's a simple enough program that the kids can use it independently while having fun at the same time!
ReplyDeleteWow. So many great things said about Tux paint. A lot of the students from our class looked at it, and I've heard only good things so far! I just might have to try it. The problem with transferring it seems universal. I wonder if they're going to address that sometime in the future?
