Functions and Features:
Blabberize
is an online service that allows anyone to create blabbers, or more
specifically edit photos into short videos with attached voice and facial
movement animation. The process is quite
simple. To create a blabber, choose a
photo from your files, crop and edit if desired, select the portion of mouth
that you would like to animate, record or upload a voice file, and publish to
your free account. Title, describe, and
attach tags to your blabber for sharing in social media and converting to
video. Choose private or mature to help
negotiate internet safety concerns and object to blabbers that are
inappropriate. Finally, browse through
other blabbers by searching through tags to discover what others have created.
- Blabberize is most appropriate for elementary grade levels due to the humor/silliness factor, although older students may find it funny as well.
- Blabberize could be targeted to any subject level for content and assessment presentation purposes.
