The book titled, Kid Pix® Deluxe 3 Projects for the Classroom, is a great technology supplement to your curriculum. The book will help your students learn valuable technology skills of a paint and draw program while also reinforcing concepts you need to cover at your grade level. The book of technology tutorials is made up of twenty-eight lessons based on the California State Content Standards for grades K-6. There are four lessons per grade level. As the students progress through the grades, more technology skills are introduced in each lesson. Each lesson contains a teacher page that includes the California State Standard, goals and objectives, and extended activities. The next page is a student page that includes easy directions for a student to follow or an adult to help the student read for younger ages. The last page of each technology lesson contains a picture of the template that the students will start with and an example of a finished technology project. These lessons are sure to engage and motivate students to learn the curriculum in a whole new way. Click here for more information on Kid Pix® Deluxe 4 Projects for the Classroom
