Created
by Educators for Your Child
Kreative
Komix products are created by the same team of programmers
and artists which developed the popular teaching programs, Vocabulary
Companion, Math Companion and Phonics
Companion. We carry the same objective oriented, lesson
specific thinking into Kreative Komix.
The
bottom line is that initially we were educators ourselves. Our
company created and continues to create products for educators.
Kreative Komix contains
the educational potential inherent in all of our products.

Teaching
Ideas
Kreative Komix
was developed with the goal of adding an element of fun to creative
writing activities. The purpose of this section is to suggest interesting
possibilities beyond the obvious. We have found that using the program
as an instructional tool engages students in the process of writing,
allowing them to explore information from an entirely new perspective.
Most of ideas in this section originated from the explorations of
teachers and students from first graders to seniors in high school
using Kreative Komix at our beta-test sites.
One reason
we believe that so many interesting ideas cropped up is that Kreative
Komix is especially well suited for students who have grown up in
a world in which many of their experiences occurred within multimedia
environments. Kreative Komix is a natural extension of those experiences,
allowing students to create stories that not only print out, but
also can actually become animated movies that can be shared over
the Internet.
In the end,
you too will probably get your best ideas from using Kreative Komix
with your students, in a large group context if possible. We as
adults, have built up preconceived notions of what communication
is. Hopefully, the examples below will help you break free and create.
Characterization
Puppets are
a great tool for encouraging students to build an understanding
of character traits. Have the students create a character in the
Character Maker, and then write a short description of their character.
Include likes and dislikes, behaviors, and even values. Culminate
your activity with a play that includes characters created by several
students.
Instructional
Posters
The Poster
Size Printout feature of Kreative Komix is perfect for creating
instructional posters for your classroom. This is a great way to
display student writing and create a print-rich environment in your
classroom.
