blabberize demo

This is a demo of a web 2.0 technology: Blabberize.com...

Uses: Students would need to write a script and rehearse prior to recording to practice what they are going to say. The website will allow you to edit your blabber, but ONLY after completing the entire sequence. Teaches students to import photos and prepare a script. Could be a fun way to prepare a report. Helpful for students who are nervous about speaking in front of peers...


Weaknesses: Can only have one character speaking at a time, but can string "scenes" together into one presentation. The program itself has a few glitches and isn't very intuitive to work. Placement of the mouth is difficult, possibly causing issues with two mouths, etc. More of a toy than an educational tool. More of a tech literacy or adapting tool rather than transforming. Doesn't interface with other programs easily...more self-contained.

Resources: You Tube links to student tutorials are linked on delicious. Can "tweet" them...
Here's a link to another user's "blabber."

Good luck making your own blabbers!
