Fotobabble

I was reading a post about the iPad written by @dakinane when I saw him mention a flash based application using photos 'Fotobabble.
With this application you can upload a photo, add your voice to it and then embed into your wikis or blogs.
Fotobabble could be used in  many ways in the classroom

  • as an oral assessment for speeches
  • oral assessment for speaking in other languages
  • a way of publishing a piece of writing, (selecting a photo that represents the writing)
  • publishing explanations, narratives, persuasive and procedural
  • final assessment tool in presenting information
  • a linear slideshow presentation with several photos and voiceovers
This is a great tool for the verbal/linguist student. It is very quick and easy to use
