“We have now stopped using PowerPoint to make presentations. Our new preferred tool is Creaza’s Mindomo. It’s a fun way to create presentations, and we are now proud and happy users of this product! Have a fantastic weekend and recharge your batteries for next week. Make sure to always live in the present, dear friends! Believe in yourselves, and as we always say:

Høsten 2012 inviterte Nasjonalbiblioteket, i samarbeid med de nasjonale sentrene for flerkulturell opplæring, fremmedspråk, matematikk, nynorsk og samisk, norske skoleelever til å delta i språkkonkurransen Språk i ditt liv. Nå er konkurransen avsluttet, og vinnere har blitt kåret. Creaza ønsker i den anledning å gratulere klasse 6B fra Hasle skole, og deres lærer Ida Marie Haugli, med førsteplass i konkurransen.

SETT, or the Scandinavian Educational Technology Transformation conference, will take place on Wednesday (April 17) and Thursday (April 18) this week. Creaza will of course be present, and you can find us at stand number H:26.

Creaza is proud to announce that more than 50 000 students and 4 000 teachers in more than 30 schools from 20 different Swedish municipalities now all have access to Creaza Premium through AV Media Skåne!

We are looking forward to going on the road, and hope to meet as many of you as possible!

Creaza started off 2013 by attending BETT at the London Exhibition and Convention Centre. We were very happy to meet so many people and receive such good feedback. On the last day of the conference, Norway's Minister of Trade and Industry, Trond Giske, paid our stand a visit. Giske went on a “speed date” with Creaza and several other Norwegian companies that provide digital solutions and tools for education. The purpose was to get some information about the different companies and to discuss the future of ICT and education both in Norway and the rest of the world. Giske was also given a brief presentation of Creaza, its parent company Inspera, and its sister companies WeVideo, Inspera Assessment and ExplorAmaze.

Creaza startet året med å delta på BETT-konferansen på London Exhibition and Convention Centre. Vi var svært fornøyde med å møte så mange engasjerte mennesker og å få så mye positiv feedback. På konferansens siste dag fikk Creazas stand besøk av Norges handels- og næringsminister, Trond Giske. Giske gjennomførte noen korte "speed dates" med ulike norske selskaper som leverer digitale tjenester og verktøy til utdanning. Hensikten var å få litt informasjon om selskapene og for å diskutere fremtiden for IKT i utdanningen både i Norge og i utlandet. Han fikk i tillegg en kort presentasjon av Creaza, moderselskapet Inspera og søsterselskapene WeVideo, Inspera Assessment og ExplorAmaze.

I dag er en viktig dag!
