Blabberize ~ Create talking animations
What is Blabberize?
- Blabberize is a photo editing tool that creates talking animations from an image.
- Here is an example created by a student.
How do I create a Blabberize?
- Upload an image from your computer, select an area to become the talking "mouth," and record sound from the microphone on your computer.
- You will need to "allow" access to your computer's microphone.
- You have 30 seconds to narrate your photo. When you complete the blab, click SAVE.
- You will be prompted to create an account on the spot.
- Completed Blabs can be shared via a copied link.
Using talking animations in the classroom
- Blab the homework directions on your teacher web page.
- Have your students use photos or digital drawings to "blab"!
- Have students draw in a paint program, save the file, and then make it "speak."
- Spice up research projects about historic figures or important scientists.
- Have literary characters tell about themselves.
- This tool is great for gifted students to go above and beyond the basics with an independent project.
- Create entire conversation sequences of blabs between people in world language or ESL/ELL classes.
- Have speech/language students make blabs to practice articulation and document progress over time.
- Promote oral reading fluency with student-read blabs.
- Create book "commercials."
- Have students blab what the author may have been thinking as he/she wrote a poem or literary selection.
- Blab politicians' major platform planks during campaigns for current events.
- Blab the steps to math problem solving.
- Make visual vocabulary/terminology sentences with an appropriate character using the term in context (a beaker explaining how it is different from a flask)
- Students could also take pictures of themselves doing a lab and then blab the pictures to explain the concepts.
- Share the class blabs on your class web page!
- Give directions to your class (for when a substitute is there).
