Imagination is one of the tools we are all born with. Some excel with their gift and create beautiful works of art, while others (myself included) only dream of the ability to create something as easy as a stick figure. Thanks to my pick of the day, all you need is a little imagination and your creativity can flourish. Kerpoof.com is owned and operated by the Walt Disney company and according to their website "is all about having fun, discovering things, and being creative" (Disney, 2009). Some of the things you can do in Kerpoof include, making an animated movie, drawing a picture, creating a card or a story, and even designing t-shirts and mugs. Kerpoof has an educator resource side called Kerpoof Scholastic where teachers can create accounts and setup an online classroom. The best part about Kerpoof is that you do not need the artistic skills of DaVinci to create a Mona Lisa. All you need is your imagination and Kerpoof's technology to turn your ideas into a work of art.
Below are a couple of videos to help introduce you to Kerpoof. The first is from CEO and creator of Kerpoof, Krista Marks, showing some of the things that can be achieved within the website. The next is a tutorial on how to create an animated movie in a flash and the final video is an actual user submitted drawing. If you would like to view more tutorials and even get some lesson plan ideas, head over to Kerpoof's tutorial site and learn more.
As usual you seem to find the best stuff. I find this a real fascinating site I can se this in use in my music classes. I can have the students create media to go along with how a song makes the students feel and what it makes them think about. A definite in my delicious book marks.
