This document summarizes the Kerpoof website, a free web-based creative art suite for K-12 students. It was launched in 2007 and purchased by Disney in 2009. It allows students to share work, use discussion forums, and collaborate in a moderated environment. The tools range from basic doodling and drawing to making stories and movies. Teachers can manage student work and the site provides lesson plan ideas. While intuitive, switching tools requires reloading the entire site and premium accounts require fees for additional features. Some school filters also block the site due to its forums.
