Ever Heard of Kerpoof?

Okay, I admit, I have been super busy this month and didn't take the time to write a blog post. I have been actually co-teaching this month, creating content for teachers, training, training, training, and looking at lots of SMART Board lessons from teachers. I hope to do better as the year progresses, especially after Christmas.

What brings me back today? Kerpoof! Kerpoof is a website, owned and operated by Walt Disney Co., that is all about "having fun, discovering things, and being creative." Did I mention that this is free for in-school use K-8? Educators can set up an account to register students and put them into classes. Students can then work collaboratively on a project such as drawings, animated movies, cards, and storybooks. They also have a section on the site for educators in which they have lesson plans available using the resources on kerpoof. I think I am in love. Check it at at http://www.kerpoof.com or go straight to the Teacher Guide for more detail infomation.
