2012 – New Possibilities

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

A new year is here, and Creaza has been off to a hectic start, with the BETT 2012 show as the main focus. BETT 2012 has been completed with great success, and we met lots of old and new Creaza users. Their feedback tells us that people are very happy with Creaza and the creative and subject related possibilities it gives the students.

At BETT we were visited by a group of students from Oaks Park High School in Redbridge in London. They started using Creaza in December 2011, and have already managed to apply use of Creaza to a wide range of areas. For instance the school has conducted an E-safety project where netiquette, source evaluation and privacy were all of great importance. Below you can see two examples of what they have done.

There are also quite a few things happening when it comes to development at Creaza. We are currently working on launching a Cartoonist app, which will be available first in the App Store for iPAD, and then the Android Market for tablets with Android OS. In addition to this we are working on upgrading both the tools and the portal. Further information will be posted on our blog in the near future. Still, the possibility of collaboration with others in the different tools is at the top of our list.

Creaza will also be present at several conferences this spring. NKUL in Trondheim, SETT in Stockholm and Fronter’s Danish user conference are but a few of the many conferences we will be attending.

Even though Creaza, by and large, is considered easy to use, many wish to have a custom fitted training in order to get a better overview of the possibilities of the toolbox. Creaza is therefore often on the road and giving training. If your school or county wishes to have a training, please contact us at:

E-mail: post@creaza.com

Phone: +47 47 77 88 00

We are working on showcasing the good examples from school at Creaza’s channels. If students have created good products that one wishes to highlight at Creaza’s blog, Facebook or YouTube channel, please send us an e-mail at post@creaza.com.

Go be creative!

2011

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

What a year!

2011 has been an amazing year for Creaza with massive growth in users, usage and customers.

We are now approaching 260 000 users and have set many ATH’s, both on a daily and on a monthly basis. Especially this autumn the usage has grown substantially.

Creaza has grown throughout the world, but the countries with the largest increases in users have been Norway, Sweden and the US.

We have done many back-end improvements to make the solution more robust and have added more content.

 

Content:

We are especially happy with the theme “You and Me” that has been used by students across the world in an effort to prevent bullying and unwanted behavior.

 

 

 

 

NRK Skole + Creaza

 

 

 

And of course the theme “NRK – skole” for our Norwegian Feide-users.

Movie clips provided to Norwegian students from Norway’s national broadcaster.

 

 

 

 

 

Technology:
On the back-end side we have added more servers, greatly improved the export-service (including 720p exports for Premium users) and we are now moving parts of our service to Amazon to provide an even better user experience for the students and teachers using Creaza. We are very happy with the result and hope users enjoy the creative possibilities Creaza provides.

As the end of 2011 is approaching we are happy to announce that Creaza, in a project together with Norwegian Centre for ICT in education (Ministry of Education), have developed a solution for collaboration between users in the Creaza tools.

We are also very happy to say that Creaza will launch a Cartoonist app for the iPad in App Store.

These solutions will be launched for the EDU – marked in 2012 and we will present our iPad app at BETT 2012. More on this in a later Blog post.

A lot has happened in the creative Creaza World in 2011. Even more will happen in 2012. We are looking forward to it.

We hope to see many of our users and followers in 2012.

BETT 2012:

Creaza will definitively be present at BETT 2012 in London January 11th – 14th. This year we are moving to the ground floor to a bigger Stand (J45) and we are collaborating with two other great creative Norwegian companies,

NRK Skole + Creaza = Sant

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

NRK Skole + Creaza = Sant!

We appologize to all our English readers for this post in Norwegian, but the reason is that this news concerns our Norwegian customers spesific! Creaza has teamed up with NRK (Norwegian National Broadcaster), to provide the possibility to edit video footage from NRK.

Gledelig nyhet til alle norske Creaza-kunder og til alle utdanningsinstitusjoner som er FEIDE-klare.

NRK Skole og Creaza AS har inngått en samarbeidsavtale. Norske elever kan nå redigere og mikse sine egne versjoner av utvalgte filmklipp NRK Skole leverer til norsk utdanningssektor.

Elevenes sluttprodukter kan publiseres gjennom NRK Skole sine kanaler dersom eleven ønsker dette og dersom innholdet egner seg for publisering.

Alle utdanningsinstitusjoner som tilbyr FEIDE-pålogging til sine elever og ansatte kan nå be om tilgang til tjenesten på vegne av sine brukere via kundeportalen til FEIDE. Utdanningsinstitusjonen må på vegne av sine brukere akseptere brukervilkår for tjenesten.

NRK Skole og Creaza er svært fornøyd med at alle norske Creaza-kunder og NRK Skole – brukere (med FEIDE-pålogging) nå får tilgang til å redigere deler av kulturarven og sette sammen sine egen filmmikser. Dette gir elevene større muligheter til å være kreative og skapende i en skolefaglig kontekst.

Alle norske Creaza-kunder som ønsker å ta i bruk det nye NRK Skole universet i Creaza kan sende en e-post til nrkskole@creaza.com. Merk e-posten med ”Tilgang til nytt NRK Skole-univers i Creaza”. Dere vil deretter blir kontaktet av Creaza.

Tjenesten vil lanseres på NKUL 2011. www.nkul.no

Brand new content launched in Creaza Premium

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Today we launched a lot of brand new content in Creaza for our Premium users.

Look here:

Creaza has made an agreement with Karl Malbert, a swedish musician, and there are now almost 400 new sounds available in Creaza. We are extremely happy with this and hope all customers enjoy the new possibilities with all the new music and sounds. They are sorted under new categories such as historical, geographical, jingles, action, serious, romantic, party, fun and many more.

Today we launched a new place in the MovieEditor theme “Geographical places”. 35 various movie clips from Marrakech (the “red city”) in Morocco. Marrakech comprises both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz) for a total population of 1,070,000.

A brand new theme is launched in Cartoonist; “You & Me”. This is a theme where students can work on their social skills and compentence, e-safety, understanding of others feelings, explaining difficult situations, share their thoughts on everyday life and so on. A brand new theme with brand new design and content.

Good luck with creating new movies, digital stories, cartoons, comic strips and much more!

Nearly 30 000 people have used Creaza in Oslo since august 2010.

500 teachers from Oslo participated at the conference “Den digitale Osloskolen” Wednesday this week. We received a lot of positive feedback on how their students may use Creaza’s creative tools to create and produce and thereby show their skills and competence.

This week usage of Creaza was at an All Time High both when counting different users and unique products being produced. We like it!

This weekend Creaza will participate at the international CREATE – SHARE – LISTEN conference in Lillehammer, Norway. We are looking forward to meeting Digital Storytellers from all over the world.  You can find the conference website here: http://lillehammer2011.wordpress.com/
