TECH TAC TOE: Blabberize
Blabberize: Roosevelt High 5 Rules -link
Blabberize is a humorous tool that can be used to motivate students, particularly as a way to share oral information in an entertaining way. Blabberize is a photo editing tool that turns a photo into an animated talking image. I decided to try it, using a photo of our school mascot to share our school's "High 5 Rules". The tool was simple to use, although getting the mouth to line up took a little experimentation to work reasonably well.
Blabberize could be a creative way for students to share a report on a particular character from history or from a novel. This could be a great tool for oral presentations, especially for students with special needs, who may have a hard time getting up in front of their peers. It allows for repeated practice when recording the audio. An uninspiring assignment could be turned into a really enjoyable experience with this tool.
You did a great job with your Blabber! He is very convincing! I like that it offers you another way to reach students that may be shy.
