Krista Marks has a bold vision to change the way kids interact with the computer and learn about creativity, and her new site Kerpoof is a giant leap forward in that direction. A unique blend of Web 2.0 goodness, user-generated content and social media savvy combined with brilliant design and some of the best Flash programming around, Krista and her team have created a place where fun is not separate from learning but integral to it, where kids can create art, write their own stories, create their own movies, and share them. True to her educational intentions the site offers teacher resources and lesson plans as well. Krista shared her vision in this videotaped presentation at Dust or Magic. For more, visit Kerpoof’s website and see for yourself, or read what TechCrunch and Colorado Startups had to say.
