Before I get started on a website that I found and messed around with it, the picture that I have on this blog I created it using the Make a Picture tool in the site called Kerpoof.
One website that I found interesting and good for students K-5 is a web site called Kerpoof. This site is a teaching tool where teachers can teach their students about art. This site has everything from creating a small movie complete with animation, and even music.
Students can also if they want just doodle with either a pen, marker, crayon, and this app also come with an eraser, just in case. Then also if the student wants to draw there is an app for that as well on this site. The drawing app comes complete with fonts, and also if the student wants they can save their drawing as a Jpeg file and save it on the computer for either personal use or for grading.
There are also app in this site to make cards, stories. It even has an app for the student to practice their spelling, because in order for the student to get a zebra then the student will have to spell it out in oder for a picture of the zebra to come into the picture. If the student does not know how to spell the object or animal he/she wants, then they will not get the picture. So this is a good application to teach students how to spell while they are using their creative minds.
Over all this site is great for teachers to get the students started in using their creative and artistic part of their brains. This site also has lesson plans for teachers to follow for their classrooms, and also if a person you like to see examples, this site has them as well.
Mario, this sounds like a very good tool to use with students. i like the incorporation of writing and art. This would be a good teaching tool that motivates and is non-threatening to students. I like this!!!
