Traditional Book Reports Go KerPoof!



Are you looking for a modern twist to traditional book reports? How about ways to encourage student story writing? Need a place for students to channel their artistic talents? Well keep reading, you need Kerpoof! Kerpoof is a free online tool provided by the artistic folks at Disney. Kerpoof offers students easy opportunities for creating pictures, stories, even movies!

Students can get started immediately by going to http://www.kerpoof.com/ to explore the creative options. But - in order to save their work, students need to have an account using their parent's (or teacher's) email address. Or, teachers can create student accounts for groups of students and then can monitor projects, leave feedback, and read other student comments. Teachers, create your own classroom accounts to really appreciate the learning opportunities a virtual classroom can bring to your students. Go to http://www.kerpoof.com/ and look for the apple icon for more teacher information.
