Educational Freeware

My daughter loves a program called Tux Paint. She uses it at school and all year has begged for us to get it. I kept forgetting to look it up....and wasn't looking forward to finding it because we have a Mac and, well, so much of the software for Macs is expensive. And although fun or helpful, it eats through a budget way too quickly.

I finally looked it up today... it's a free download! And I'm posting the site it can be found on. There are other freebies for education there as well, although I've not explored them. So, enjoy!

Educational Freeware

UPDATE:

This site is actually a compilation of free downloads and on-line sites. All have been checked out and evaluated for their effectiveness for a certain age group or subject. These are high ranking games, activities and software. I've liked what I've seen so far... although I've not tried the downloads yet. Many of the sites (maybe all) that we like are also listed in there. So... a great place to check out.

Yes! The tecno sounds of TuxPaint can often be heard in our house. We discovered it a few years ago and love it.
I'll have to check out the link to find some other good freebies--love those.
That is after we do our two hour SS&P marathon to get caught up. (April is coming quick.)
Oh ya....then there is the pressing of the church clothes, then Brian Hurleys haircut at 9:00 tonight.
And...and...and...and. Well, maybe it will be another day that I'll get to it.
In any case, thanks for the link!
See you tomorrow (if we can get out of our driveway.)
