Fotobabble

Fotobabble allows you to create talking photographs. It's easy to use, simply choose a photo to upload, record your message, and share. Access to this application is free and can be used with your Facebook account. You can choose to mark your photo as private or public, and can share through Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, link in an email or instant message, or embed into your web page. In the classroom, Fotobabble could be used by students to enhance oral descriptions related to all curricular areas. Using a photograph of a grasshopper, I recorded the two-voice poem (with my husband) "Grasshoppers" from Paul Fleischman's collection, Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices. For a personal touch, students can use photographs to invite family members to a school program, thank family members for their support, send a special message to family members for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Grandparent's Day. Fotobabble's application in the classroom is only limited to your imagination.
