Kerpoof!

A creative site for kids and young teens. In their words, some of the activities:
  • Make artwork (even if you aren't good at drawing!)
  • Make an animated movie (really! it's easy!)
  • Earn Koins which you can trade for fun things in the Kerpoof Store
  • Make a printed card, t-shirt, or mug
  • Tell a story
  • Make a drawing
  • Vote on the movies, stories, and drawings that other people have made
As you can see, there are many opportunities. I have to say that I clicked in to have a quick look and was still on there 30 minutes later watching animations, reading an interactive story - very addictive and still educational - that doesn't happen too often!

Integration:
  • Even reluctant readers will enjoy the interactive stories - I tried the 'Dr Von Boringburg' (or something like that) and was chuckling regularly. With the option of being read to, there's no reason for kids not to engage with these tales
  • Share creations (stories, artwork, animations etc.) from the site with users worldwide. Comment on and receive comments on learners' work
  • Play games to introduce, reinforce and revise the topics on offer
