Blabberize

Blabberize is a fun and crazy website that allows you to make your pictures talk.  I mean really talk!  It is quick and easy to use, with instructions that are easy to follow.  I made the blabberize above in about 3 minutes.  Just select and upload a picture, crop it if you wish, place the mouth, record the sound and watch the magic happen.

Tips for integrating Blabberize into the classroom:  Blabberize will immediately captures student interest.  Have students create a Blabberize to demonstrate knowledge and share research information with others in class or on a class website.  Just have the animal, building or map do the talking!  When you are finished, you are given the option to save and make your Blabberize private or public.  Once saved, you can copy the link or embed the code into a website (like I have).  You also have the option of converting your Blabberize to video.  This is a great option if you would like to download the projects onto your computer or copy them to DVD for distribution or sharing.

Note:  Users need to log in and create a password.  Another option would be for the teacher to create a log in and have all of the students sign in on one account.
