WHAT IS BLABBER? Blabberize is an application that allows you
to speak through a picture. You can manipulate the picture to say
what you want it to say.
Slide 4
HOW TO CREATE A BLABBER In order to create a blabber you will
need: An Image: images must be historically accurate (photographs,
paintings, political cartoons- from the time period which are
appropriate and authentic) A Script: scripts will be used to create
a voice recording and must be historically accurate and use
appropriate language. Voice Recording: your voice recording must be
no longer than 30 seconds long and needs to follow the rubric to
meet all requirements of the assignment

THINGS TO REMEMBER Your group must rehearse your script and
time yourselves before recording. Recordings CANNOT exceed 30
seconds. You must listen to the recording before creating your
blabber project. Students have experienced glitches while using the
site or downloading blabbers in the past you must log in and watch
your completed project to ensure that it has downloaded properly
(regardless of the device)
