Hello everyone, sorry my late blog post but we have been busy making and watching presentations about very useful and effective tools and now I'm going to introduce to you some of them.
We've had very good weeks while learning about them, as we, teachers of the future, always find a way to integrate technology into our teaching.
My friend Aynur and I gave a presentation about blabberize and fotobabble. They are different sites but they are both used to make talking photos. They are very simple to use. These make an ordinary photo more attractive and
unique.
Just by following some basic steps you can make your talking photo.
How to use them ?
For both you have to have an account to save your outcomes or to share it. And again for both, you simple upload a photo and record your voice or add a recorded voice, here there is.
In blabberize: You can add a mouth and while listening it, it moves. It's so fun actually especially when using animal pictures etc.

Advantages of these tools
Students can make their pronunciation better as they have to record their voice and listen it. Their teachers can also hear all of their voices.
Teachers can conduct different activities in their classes.
Students feel confident while using the language.
Some task ideas
Making greeting cards: Students can add a photo like new year themed photos and wish their friends happy new year.
Introduing the family: They can add a family photo and give information about their families.
Of course there are many task ideas but these are the ones that come to my mind. These tools can make your classroom enjoyable. It's also important to use and try before carrying it to the class. We should give step by step instructions so that our students can benefit from it easily.
If you still have a question about what it is here are some examples.
Thank you I'll continue in my next post, I'll be glad to see your comments, see you soon :)
