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.

This site would be a great tool to use in the classroom (or in a library). A "wallwisher" wall allows everyone to communicate on a "wall" answering a question you have posed. Using sticky notes, those in the class answer on the virtual/visual wall. The wall I built asked the question, "what are you reading and what do you like about it so far?" Students can answer with both words and images. Therefore, it is my hope students will upload a picture of the book cover and give a quick review of the book based on what they have read so far. You can design the color/design of the wall. I found this tool to be lots of fun and it could be used in many ways in a classroom or library. Wallwisher could definitely be used to inspire collaboration and communication.

This is an online notice board maker where you can post announcements, greetings, jokes; just about anything you would want to put on a Post It. I think this would be a great tool for students to use in a note taking assignment. This would be fun to collaborate multiple students' posts and try to combine them randomly to create a funny poem or short story.
