I like it much better then paint. More features and they are easier to use. We asked the students to create a picture for vocabulary words. I think some of the stamp features and such in Tuxpaint would have helped some of the kids without as much native atistic talent to still produce recognizable results. I think the artists are going to go wild with some of the magic features. It really looks like fun. I don't know how well it will work on a small screen like an XO or netbook. Maybe someone else can take a look? For our work at the GPA, where we have full sized screens, I think Tuxpaint is superior. I know the teachers really care about the automatic save though. The kids have a lot of trouble saving and its heart breaking for them to lose their work. We need to think about how to not just save to journal, but to save automatically and frequently, but not so frequently that we clog up the journal.
