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!

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!
