              Komix products are created by the same team of programers 
              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.

              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.
