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.

Visions Technology in Education, publishers of the Kreative Komix series, is a respected leader in the education technology field.

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.
