If you're looking to replicate KidPix functionality, I'd look no further than TuxPaint -- which offers linux and Windows binaries. Free and Open Source.

What are people using for this - we have an OLD version of Kidpix install in the Elem lab, but I know there must be something better out there. This is for first (1st) grade. --Michael T.

A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. "The computer revolution hasn't started yet. Don't be misled by the enormous flow of money into bad defacto standards for unsophisticated buyers using poor adaptations of incomplete ideas." - Alan Kay ________________________________ Pursuant to Illinois' public records law, this written communication may constitute a public record which is available to the public and media upon request.
