What Parents Need to Know
About Kerpoof
Parents need to know that this is a free educational site created to help teachers integrate technology into the classroom. But with a little trial and error tweens at home can figure out and use the site's creative art, publishing, and animation tools on their own. There are some social networking and "send to a friend" features, but safety features require kids to have their friends' email addresses to be able to send messages or create a group.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how computers can be used to enhance -- or dampen -- creativity. Sometimes backgrounds or even extensive character options can limit kids' creativity. What are some differences between how you can be creative while using the Kerpoof.com art studio versus starting with a blank sheet of paper? Also, discuss why this kind of "social networking" is safer than other sites, like MySpace or Second Life.

I use it in the computer lab with 1st grade and up. We create posters that go along with content being taught in the classroom. The older students get more time to explore and create on their own.

Kids make their own cartoons!
Great website where kids can make their own animated movies. Kids will probably need an adult to help them figure out how it works at first, but once they get going there's lots of room for creativity, as well as logical panning (laying out activities on a multi-track time line). Can share videos. We haven't gotten any hits yet, so no opinion re: appropriateness. Earn coins when you make movies -- seems like a good incentive system. Has a point, unlike Club Penguin were you earn points by playing silly games.

Boring
Kerpoof.com is just boring. there is nothing to do, you just do nothing. It is just one of those websites where when you look at the homepage you know there is nothing to do!
