Who we are
Our website address is: https://kidmedia.net.
Kidmedia is a team creating educational software for preschool, special education and first grade children, created by special education teachers Pagratis Pavlidis and Christos Bitsis. The Kidmedia team has been creating educational software since 2005.
Since then, we have been in constant cooperation with Mr. Makris Pantelis and his company Sesat Ltd in Cyprus. This website, as well as kidmedia.gr, are operated by Sesat Ltd, which has undertaken the publication and distribution of the work of the Kidmedia creative team in any available way (indicative: digital and print editions, through public, private and European projects, funding, donations etc.).
The creators retain the intellectual property of their work and offer exclusive rights of access and use to website visitors according to the individual agreements they have concluded with Sesat Ltd.
Collaborators of the group are the special education teacher Ioulia Dimou, the kindergarten teacher and vocal and piano teacher Valentini Pavlidou, the musician-programmer Georgios Pavlidis and the programmer Konstantinos Bitsis.
We create apps that we use first in our classroom, test their effectiveness, and then publish them on our website.
Our main goal is to create quality interactive learning games for children and teaching tools to help educators and parents. We focus on the early stages of learning and make sure all our applications are suitable for children with disabilities.
Our most recent work concerns the development of customizable on-line applications that can be used by educators as practice exercises, depending on the level of each student.
On our website kidmedia.net, we will make the necessary changes to all our on-line learning games so that they have a similar if not identical way of interacting with the user. We will also try to use as little verbal communication as possible.
