Kerpoof Part 1

Kerpoof is a website that can be used in many ways by both students and teachers. It is free to join, and once you join you will be able to save your work. To ensure that parents know that their children are safe using Kerpoof, there is a "For Parents" button on the bottom of the page that parents can click on. It discusses what Kerpoof is and why the children are safe using it. One thing it says in this section is that they are adding new activities to Kerpoof almost monthly, so the children will always have plenty to do.
With Kerpoof, you can make a picture, make a movie, make a drawing, make a card, and make a story. These are all fun activitities that students would love to do during their classroom time. It is something that can be done independently, which helps the teachers out tremendously. This link shows a possible illustration that students would write about that I made using Kerpoof. When students are free writing they sometimes can't think of anything to write about. If they can make a picture like this one, then they will have something great to write about. What is so great is that the students can customize the picture to suit them. There are many more ways that Kerpoof can be used educationally by students, teachers, and parents.
