7. Teacher Tips

• This lesson works the best with the use of big
  pals. Older buddies are able to read the
  instructions, access the KidPix application and
  assist with printing.
• The KidPix assessment is best used if the
  teacher creates a template with the title and
  years used. In this manner, the children can
  focus on the drawings rather than worry about
  typing.
