As an educator, do you ever find
yourself feeling like the dad in Zits? Perhaps a
"digital immigrant" in a technology obsessed nation? If so, then this website is
for you! Choose one of the links below to get started learning the language of
the digital natives (or perhaps I should say, "digital intuitives"-a term coined
by Ben and Jared from EdTech Innovators-students have the
intuitiveness to use technology but do they know how to use it appropriately to
learn, to solve problems, to access information, and to
create?).

You adjust the mouth to where you think it best fits on the picture for opening and shutting like a real mouth would when talking, then you do a voice recording either through your computer if it has a microphone or you can call in the recording over the phone. Give your blabber a title, description, tag and save it and you have created your own character that talks with your voice that is telling the info you want to share. Our 3rd graders did this using pictures of famous inventors and pretended they were the inventor and told a little about their life and invention.
