Blabberize

=Blabberize = I love the idea of this site : take a picture from any source, highlight the mouth, pick a sound, and let the picture talk. What I didn't realize was the simplicity of the site, and the numerous uses for a classroom. I don't have a microphone on my computer, so I was reluctant to use this tool until I dug a little deeper and found sounds can be recorded over a phone call and attached to the picture. This could be a great tool to grab attention or to be the culmination of a project for nearly any grade level. Though not educational, I made one and hoped for a laugh. My seven year old daughter got a chuckle out of it. As a free user I was only able to upload a 30 second audio clip per scene, but could call the number and add sounds just fine. I couldn't find a place to sign up for a price, but I think it would be great to have a subscription if this was something you would use in the classroom regularly. I found the site to be quite entertaining and can't wait to put it to use in my classroom. - Jesse Lomax

Make sure your speakers are on, but not too loud. I found this records a little on the loud side.
