Creative Writing #14: Have you explored using Kerpoof for digital storytelling?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Kerpoof as a writing tool was brought to my attention by one of our SchoolNet members, Warren Sparrow from Rondebosch Boys Prep. He has a post about Kerpoof on his blog (<a href="http://wsparrow.blogspot.com/2013/06/kerpoof.html">http://wsparrow.blogspot.com/2013/06/kerpoof.html</a>) and he has even created the first part of his own fairytale.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What is Kerpoof?</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what it says on the Kerpoof website </span><a href="http://www.kerpoof.com/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.kerpoof.com/</a><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Kerpoof's multimedia software is used by kids worldwide to create original artwork, animated movies, stories, greeting cards and more.
