Blabberize a President

The glogster poster below displays a sample of the completed project the third and fourth graders have been working on for the last month or so. This project has taken longer than I anticipated due to some unexpected problems. We discovered the Blabberize website does not work well using Firefox as our browser. Once we switched to Google Chrome, the problem of defining the mouth was solved. I had the students record their speeches using Garageband (.mp3) and Audacity (.wav) because sometimes Blabberize would upload the wav file when it would not upload the mp3 file. On the Blabberize site, you have the option of converting to video. This feature is offered free until June. Most of the time when students attempted to use this feature, the conversion would never process. The students were able to copy the embed code so they could add the Blabberize to their own webpage. As a result of this project, students have saved on their flashdrive an image of their presidents’ face, a speech typed and printed using Pages, the audio file of their speech using GarageBand and Audacity, and the embed code copied and pasted in a Page document to later paste to their blog page.
