    You can use a picture they provide or you can upload a picture that you want to use through their browser button. 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.

Xtranormal | Text-to-Movie - 0 views

  •  
    Add written text, choose an animated character, and xtranormal creates a movie! Great for creative writing lessons in the classroom. If students know that their 'writing' will be used to create a movie, they will be more cautious about their editing, wording, etc. Plus, they get to 'watch' something they created!

GoAnimate - Make your own cartoons - 1 views

  •  
    On GoAnimate you can make your own animated characters, direct your own cartoons and watch others' creations. It's easy and free! I think this would be a fun way to allow students the creative freedom to construct graphic-novel-type book reports or fictional stories. This would also be a wonderful way for students to retell the plot line of the story for the class.

Voki - Personal Avatars - 2 views

  •  
    You can choose your own avatar (virtual person/character) and upload a recording to it, allowing it to tell what you want people to know. Our 6th graders did this and gave a brief teaser about some books they have been reading.

    Voki is a free service that allows you to create personalized speaking avatars and use them on your blog, profile, and in email messages. I personally have two of them on my teacher website. Sometimes you have to spell phonetically in order to get the Avatar to pronounce things correctly, but other than that, it is a blast creating them.

    This is the website of the elementary school where my kids go to school. They are always playing with new and creative ways to get the kids interested in what they are learning about. The fourth grade classes do podcasts after different lessons to emphasize what they have learned as well as work on their reading fluency skills.

    Resourceful site for all types of educators and leaders. The site contains lesson plans, professional development, and technology integration. Resources for teachers are extensive and cover quite a lot of material.

    This site has a professional development section. Some articles have suggestions for new teachers, strategies for classroom management, bullying, and character education to name a few.

    This is a place where teachers can gather and share ideas. This resource includes lesson plans, information on how to integrate technology in the classroom, articles written by educational experts, web site reviews, and employment listings. I believe we can all share ideas and build upon those ideas to create lessons that are meaningful to students.
