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!

BETT, NOT, ATH, CREATE – SHARE – LISTEN – and You & Me, Marrakech and Music ;-)

Friday, February 4th, 2011

Creaza had an incredible week in London at BETT 2011. (The world’s leading event for educational technology where education professionals can evaluate and purchase a comprehensive range of ICT products and services.)

A week filled with presentations, networking, branding and meeting customers  really confirmed to us that Creaza is being used a lot. We met hundreds of users and a lot of people within the education sector who all showed an interest in Creaza. A common theme is that our product always gives us the possibility to make people smile ;-)

Check highlights from BETT here: http://www.bettshow.com/bett11/website/Home.aspx?refer=1

For BETT 2012 we will move on to an even larger stand to meet the growing interest. More to come on this..

Creaza participated at NOT together with Fronter in Utrecht in the Netherlands in the end of January. It was an extraordinary stand with Creaza buttons all over and we met both existing and potential customers. NOT is the largest educational event in the Netherlands.

In the City of Oslo all students and teachers have access to Creaza, and they use it!
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/

Creaza lanserte i dag det nye store universet “Etterkrigstiden”. Universet lar elever og lærere skape fortellinger og tegneserier basert på innholdselementer fra 50-tallet, 60-tallet, 70-tallet og 80-tallet. Utfordringer mellom Øst og Vest og den kalde krigen er politiske elementer man kan jobbe med. I tillegg til dette finnes det en rekke karakterer, figurer og bakgrunner fra de fire 10-årene. Berlinmuren finnes for eksempel i utgaver fra både 50, 60, 70 og 80-tallet.

Etterkrigstiden

Viktige elementer i hverdagslivet finner man også en rekke bakgrunner, figurer og rekvisittaer fra. Hva med Disco-mulighetene fra 70-tallet eller hvordan så kjøkkenet ut på 50-tallet?
