This Web 2.0 tool will put a smile on your face. Blabberize is humorous but can be made educational, should you desire. It gives kids a great chance to create a project, demonstrate understanding, and still have fun doing so.
The basic concept of Blabberize is to upload a photo, place a mouth on the page, and then record audio as if the subject in the photo were talking. Perhaps the subject could be narrating a story, explaining a process, suggesting an idea, et cetera.
Here's Jessica's practice Blabberize experience where the photo was simply taken with a cell phone and then sent to her Gaggle account (that's Abby giving you a brief introduction on what Blabberize is). Below you'll find some more.
Deerfield Library - This one is unique in that they deleted the mouth so it ended up being a quick welcome to their library. They probably embedded this video on their LMC's website. Neat use!
Here's a nice handout on our challenge (thank you Rita Mortenson).
Come on! Make an account! Find a photos and plan a quick mini-lesson, a welcome message, a summary, et cetera using Blabberize! After you made a Blabberize sample, send Jessica the link to it.
