TftF 105: Tux Paint (Linux in the Classroom 2)
This podcast was recorded through the magic of Utterli and hands free cell phones.
Tux Paint is a Linux based painting/drawing program for kids. Similar to programs like KidPix, Tux Paint has all of the funuctionality of MS Paint, but for kids. Tux Paint is a lot of fun to use and allows a good deal for teacher modification. There are a number of “stamps” that are available online or you can create your own based on what you are doing in your class.
Tux Paint is based on Linux but is available for Windows 95 through Vista and Mac OSX. What is even better about Tux Paint is that it is completely free.

In Other News, Dan Flannery has won the 2008 John Lennon Song Contest for best children’s song. So now we can say we have an award winning song writer to come on the show and produce the music for the Teaching for the Future podcast.
You can go to Dan’s site to see what he and Mike are up to and listen to more music by the Flannery Brothers. Congratulations Dan!
