Teacher Accounts

Kerpoof's free teacher accounts give you access to a range of classroom administration tools. You'll be able to register all your students, manage their accounts according to class, and control access to collaboration features (group galleries, message boards, chat and Buddy Draw). The collaboration features are generally members-only, but your students will enjoy free access if you register them with your teacher account.

Teacher accounts come with several practical benefits, such as the ability to reset forgotten passwords, monitor activity and delete inappropriate messages. Once your account has been created, you can access these tools at the following url: http://www.kerpoof.com/teacher_tools.

To apply for a teacher account, please fill out the form below (you'll need a Kerpoof nickname). If possible, include an email address that is clearly associated with your school district. We will contact you via e-mail to further verify your identity.

Kerpoof respects your privacy. The information you enter on this form will not be shared, sold, or used for any purpose other than creating and servicing your Teacher Account.

Thank you for your interest in Kerpoof!
