Creaza (www.creaza.com) is a Web 2.0 tool that I came across that is an all in one tool/website that allows for some great integration and collaberation of technology into the classroom. Not only does it allow for ease of use in technology integration and media design, but it provides a platform for you to do collaberative and group projects on the web and across multiple formats.
So, if you are working with several team members on a media rich project or even with a partner who is on a PC while you are on a Mac, Creaza allows you work together on a media rich program that also allows for creativity while supporting multiple file types.
The whole site can take you from inception to completion all in one place. There is a tool for mindmapping, where you or you and your team can lay out the plans and what is to be accomplished. If you want to storyboard or even create a cartoon for your media rich experience, there is a tool to create cartoons. This one is always a student favorite, albeit teacher's too. Once you have your plan and you videos ready, you then can take your files into the movie editor tool. Here you can make some simple edits, cuts and transitions using a variety of media types and formats from either PC or Mac platform. And then to add the final touch to it all by tweaking the audio with the audio editor.
Overall, you could do it all here, or if you wanted to just use the tools individually you can do that as well. Creaza is a great way to create some new, fun media to use in your presentations or your classroom.
