25. Hint: If you don't want to change the 'configâ files, then try Creating a shortcut in MY DOCUMENTS to the TuxPaint saved folder. This will allow you to access the finished images for other uses. (i.e. import then into a Presentation document. )
39. Day 2: Sketching Pre-writing Activity Eight grade students mentored first grade students in creating a drawing that they will write about. Print the Tux Paint picture.
40. Day 3: Writing about our drawing First grade students write stories about their picture back in their classroom.
41. Day 4: Typing with our Book Buddy Eight grade students work collaboratively on one Google Doc presentation inserting the First Grade student picture and typing the first grade buddy's story.
45. Buddy Books â Penguin Story Penguins that live in a park they always have fun there and there are 7 penguins in the park. One of the Penguins was kidnapped and there was a problem. Now there are 6 Penguins and the 6 Penguins are going to save the other penguin, whose name is Max. Mr. Officer rescued the Penguin and everyone is all back together.

46. The Hibernating Bear With a Birthday Once upon a time there was a bear, and it was hibernating. It woke up and wanted food. He celebrated his birthday. It had cake and whales to eat. And it wore sunglasses and a party hat!
50. Some Math Ideas After taking the time to demonstrate Tux Paint to a Math Coach, I asked her to brainstorm which tools matched math curriculum. Here are just a few ideas that came from that meeting. 1. Use Lines (with arrows) and different size brushes to illustrate a math concept. 2. Naming the shapes 3. Use Paint or Rainbow to draw Maths on a Numberline 4. Use Brushes to 'stamp' 5. Math an equation to an illustration 6. Show steps and jumps with Magic Rainbow/ or Paint 7. Use brushes or Fill with a 10 Frame drawing as a template
51. More Math Ideas 8. Use Shapes Illustrate equations (match an equation to an illustration) 9. Use Stamps to illustrate Patterns / Sets Show me the different ways to make "8" (i.e. 3+5=8) use balls, vehicles , fruit 10. Use Shapes to illustrate a design (the world we live in) 11. 2 D shapes in Grades K - 1 12. Use tools to work with Line Lenghts 13. Discuss categorizing by Navigation through stamps
52. More Math Ideas 14. Use Stamp to illustrate fractions. What fraction of these flowers is "purple" 1/4 of the flowers need to be green (grade 3) Draw lines to prove to me that 1/4 is 'green" 15. Use Magic (Flowers that Grow) to demonstrate Algebraic growth 16. Use Magic: Kaleidoscope to discuss "what do equal parts look like". 17. Flips and Turns: What changed when I flip something (Gr 3) 18. Use stamps size feature to illustrate. Big bigger Biggest (using size) Also: Great Greater or Less than and Greater than

54. Teachers who noticed the 100 square template I added suddenly had lots of ideas on how to use it in group instruction.
55. The next few slides and video tutorial links describe how I created these.
71. Creating New Stamps from Images that are not in transparent PNG format 1. Download some clipart (i.e.) http://www.teacherfiles.com/clip_art_shapes.htm 2. Open file in IrfanView Free program: www. irfanview .com/ Save AS PNG (put related files in a FOLDER) Click on the White part of the file as the last step to saving 3. Copy the folder of Saved PNG Files to Tux Paint Stamps Folder (By default: C: Hint: Copy the whole folder not just the files. Stamps stay categorized by folder within Tux Paint. Click here for Video Tutorial on How to Create New Stamps
79. Set up projects where older kids mentor younger kids and their teachers in the basics
80. Start a project that has a very visible outcome (i.e. Book Buddies). Put those teachers in the spotlight. Others will want to join. Do another round later and invite new teachers.
81. Duplicate Tux Paint CD's and give them out to parents and kids. Good PR! Give kids curricular alternatives for computer fun at home.
82.
83. Set up a Supported Work Session with âtech savvyâ teachers to develop new stamps or templates. Pay curriculum work stipends.
86. Don't assume you know what config setting the teachers want. I assumed wrong about certain settings. Teachers are classroom management experts. Get them involved.
