How can we use this w/ students?
  • Use the text-to-speech feature to give your students a dictation. Sts have to go to the class blog, listen to the dictation and bring it to the following class.
  • Have sts create a speaking character and publish it in their own blogs.

Talking CATS and DOGS - choose one of the pets they have or use a picture of your own pet, customize it with accessories, choose a background ( animated), use the text-to-speech function (you type and the animal reads your text) or select a preset text. Nice to send birthday messages like the one below.

The Message from Water

One of the tasks for the images4education course for week5 is to share a story you´ve told digitally using one of the web tools suggested. I decided to tell the story about Masaru Emoto´s work which is called "The Message from Water" He is a Japanese researcher who studied the molecules of water and what happens to these molecules when they´re exposed to music, words and thoughts.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
