Check this tool out for some fun. Blabberize

I stumbled across this tool recently and I love it. Similar to the Avatars we looked at earlier in the course, this tool allows you to add voice to an image. The difference that I found is that you can actually choose your own image and decide where and how it will open its mouth. I then had the choice of adding my voice via a microphone, a save message or a recording from my mobile phone.

Its so easy to make, and its free. The mouth actually moves in conjunction with your voice.
This could have great implications for a primary class, especially for presentations. It allows for fun and interactivity too. This penguin could be something that I would use as a hook into my lesson. It provides engagement and it could also act as an avatar by employing the students as a role for a particular task.

Have a play, let me know your thoughts.
