Preface
Education plays the most important role in acquiring professional and social skills, and a positive attitude towards face the
challenges of life. Curriculum is a comprehensive plan of any educational programme. It is also one of the means for bringing
about qualitative improvement in an educational system. The Curriculum initiated by the Central Board of Secondary
Education-International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making the educational content responsive to global needs. It signifies
the emergence of a fresh thought process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to
pursue the learning process in harmony with the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum as a pilot project in a few schools outside India in 2010, in classes I and IX and
extended the programme to classes II, VI and X in the session 2011-12. It was further extended to classes III, VII and for Senior
Secondary classes with class XI in the session 2012-13. It is going to be introduced in classes IV, V, VIII and XII in the session
2013-14 in the schools outside India and in classes I, II and III in the schools within the country.
The Senior Secondary stage of education determines the course of life of a student. At this stage, it becomes extremely important
for students to develop the right attitude, a willingness to learn and an understanding of the world around them and to be able to
take the right decisions for their future. The senior secondary curriculum is expected to provide the necessary base for the
growth of knowledge and skills, and thereby enhance a student's potential to face the challenges of global competitiveness. The
CBSE-i Senior Secondary Curriculum aims at developing the desired professional, managerial and communication skills as
required in of the world of work. CBSE-i is for the current session offering curricula in ten subjects i.e. Physics Chemistry,
Biology, Accountancy, Business-Studies, Economics, Engineering Graphics, Home Science, Computer Science, Information
Practices, ICT, English, Mathematics I and Mathematics II. Mathematics at two levels caters to the differing needs of students of
pure sciences and commerce. The curriculum has been designed to nurture multiple intelligences like linguistic or verbal
intelligence, logical mathematical intelligence, spatial intelligence, sports intelligence, musical intelligence, inter-personal
intelligence and intra-personalintelligence.
The Core skills are the most significant aspects of a learner's holistic growth and learning curve. The objective of this part of the
core of curriculum is to scaffold the learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This involves
trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through
Work and Action), Life Skills and Research would be the constituents of this 'Core'.
The CBSE-i Curriculum evolves by building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while
addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the schools administering this system, strongly recommends that
practising teachers become skil ful and lifelong learners and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the
interactive platforms provided by the Board. The success of this curriculum depends upon its effective implementation and it is
expected that the teachers will apply themselves to creating better facilities, developing linkages with the world of work and
fostering conducive environment, as per the recommendations of the curriculum document.
I appreciate the effort of Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Director (Academics, Research, Training and Innovation), CBSE, and her team
involved in the development of this document. I specially appreciate the efforts of (Late) Dr. Srijata Das for working tirelessly
towards meeting deadlines.
The CBSE-i website enables all stakeholders to participate in this initiative through the discussion forums. Any further
suggestions on improving the portal are always welcome.

UNIT 5: TUX PAINT-I

Introduction
In the ancient period, when early Man didnt have any formal vocal language, at that
time they used Drawing as one of the important communication mediums. Through
drawings encrypted on the cave walls, they used to express their thoughts.
Although now we have numerous fully developed languages but even today, during
the early learning years in a childs life, when his vocabulary is not completely evolved,
drawing is the best thing through which they can express themselves more clearly. So
drawing is of utmost importance in any childs life.
We can introduce computer based drawing to the kids through TUX PAINT software
which is Free and Open Source Software and can be downloaded from the URL:
http://tuxpaint.org/download/
In this chapter we shall discuss about basics of Tux paint software like:
How to start and close it.
How to create new drawing files in it.
How to work with shapes tool.

Teachers Notes
Drawing is considered as one of the best tools and activities through which on one hand
children can express themselves and on the other hand we can introduce them to a
variety of things and concepts with lots of fun and enjoyment, without actually making
them realize that we are teaching them something. Keeping this fact in mind, it is
recommended that the teacher should encourage the students to take up this tool with
all enthusiasm so that they can built their creativity, visualization skills and they should
be able to express themselves. As students using this unit may be very young, so more
emphasis should be given on indirect learning with play and learn environment.
Teacher may use following methodologies:

Demonstration of Tux Paint

Demonstration through online videos (It is advisable to download the videos

prior to class to save time)
