Thing #14 - Web 2.0 Tools

I created this with Blabberize, which was actually quite easy and FUN!! Choose a picture with a visible mouth, follow the simple steps, and voila! You must sign up for the site. No biggie. You also need to be able to record your voice on your computer, bt if you can't you have the option of calling in and recording your message there. That's what I had to do , and it was very simple and fast. Students could use this to create an "All About Me" description. Parent consent forms would have to be filled out, but you do have the option of marking things private. This would be very entertaining for the students.

I could also see the students creating pictures with characters and using those pictures to "blabberize" the characters to tell their tale. This would work well with historical biographies, story characters, and writing short story characters. I actually can't wait to try this :-)
