"Give any Image a Talking Mouth and Make it an Engaging Learning Opportunity! There are quite a few web 2.0 tools that provide easy and exciting ways to integrate technology in the classroom. One of them is Blabberize, a free online tool that allows you to quickly create talking images, providing some great opportunities to foster student engagement and collaboration."
Have you used Blabberize in your classroom? It is a free tool that allows you to upload an image and then create a talking picture. This post provides may suggestions on how to use it across disciplines as well as a video playlist that will showcase many examples of student work.
Below are a few ideas.
* Research a historical figure and use Blabberize to have them talk about their lives.
* Find a favorite quote from a fictional character and have the character say the quote (and explain it if necessary).
* Think about science and how you could use a talking image to explain an experiment, a change of phase, etc.
* Research an animal and have the animal talk about their habitat, what they eat, etc.
There are many ideas in this post and I suspect you can come up with more. Students need to able to create their own image (or find one that copyright free) and upload the image. It would be best if they wrote out what the image would say and practice it prior to recording using a computer.
The post also discusses how students could collaborate on projects, and notes that if you cannot record with a computer you can record using a phone. Find more information as well as a link to a video tutorial in the post.
