Blabberize!

I attended a virtual conference today sponsored by Discovery Education. It was so nice to attend such a worthwhile event without even leaving my house! I found so many new ways to use Web 2.0 tools to engage students and allow meaningful collaboration. If you have used Discovery Education and its many resources, you should give it a try! One of the tools shown today was Blabberize. I can't wait to have my students create all kinds of talking pictures to teach others many new concepts. We tested the site and quickly created a talking dog. However, with more time my 5 year old (the voice) will be able to make the dog tell you all kinds of things about dogs! Enjoy! http://www.blabberize.com/ My 7 year old created the talking hurricane. It would be great for a weather unit. We will add more facts later! See below.

By the way, you can find recorded versions of the Discovery Education seminars at: http://www.discoveryeducation.com/
Go to community and find the archived webinars. You need to be a DEN member I think to see them.
