Reciting Poetry on Blabberize.com

Back in February, I posted about a new website I tried, blabberize.com.  This  website is free to use, and allows the creator to place a mouth on a picture that will say whatever it is programmed to say.  I used blabberize with my staff by having  each group recite a nursery rhyme in a specific voice, and then guessing the  different voices from each group.

I used blabberize during a presentation I gave at the Upstate Technology  Conference over the summer.  My presentation was 2.0 Web Tools Aligned with Common Core ELA.   I used blabberize to demonstrate how students could easily create their own, and  how to tie blabberize into Common Core Standards.  For my presentation, I  created a blabberize using a creative commons picture of a girl on her back, looking upwards.  I had the girl reciting "Seeing the World" by Steven Herrick; a 6th grade suggested poetry study.

Blabberize.com can be sued in so many different ways.  Students could summarize a text, give a book report, introduce themselves to the class, recite poetry, wish someone a happy birthday.........
