What Do You Blab About?

Would you like to make a virtual museum…go back in time and hear Abraham Lincoln or Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give a famous speech? Perhaps rewrite history.  Students will sharpen their writing skills, speaking skills, communication skills, oral fluency skills, and storytelling skills while using Blabberize.  Blabberize is a free online tool that can be used to create a Blabber. A Blabber is an animated (mouth) digital picture with voice narration.

Below is an example of a Blabber created by one of Mrs. Kent-Johnson's students.
