Materials Needed
The words, Materials Needed will
appear on black. The images will
fade into the black screen. Then the
screen will fade to black again.

To use this web app, you don’t need much. However you will Windows Movie Maker
want to make sure that the computers the students will be Audacity
using have the latest version of Adobe Flash player installed. Paint.net
For the voice recording you will need headsets which can be
purchased for under $10. Or if students will be doing this at
home, they would only need access to a phone.


How it Works Frame Description:
The words, How it Works will appear
on black and then fade out as the
video segment begins with a screen
shot of the Blabberize homepage
that will move to the login/sign-up
page.

To get to this website, simply type blabberize.com. Windows Movie Maker
If it’s your first time, you’ll have to create an account Audacity
with a valid e-mail address, username and password. I Jing
created a school account that I let students without e-
mail addresses use. Once logged in, click on MAKE.


Frame Description:
The movie segment will continue
going from the login page to the
make page. Then to the uploading
picture page to the cropping page.
Then to the mouth selection page to
the audio page.

Once in MAKE, click on upload a picture. Select the picture of Windows Movie Maker
choice. Then use the pink dots to crop the picture. When Audacity
done cropping, click the blue next arrow. Now use the red and Jing
green dots to select the mouth area. Pay close attention to
the large green dot, as it only controls how far the mouth
opens. When finished cropping the mouth, click the blue next
arrow.


Frame Description:
going from the audio page to the
save page.

On the audio screen you have three choices, to call in (which when Windows Movie Maker
clicked will give you a telephone number and a pin to use), to upload
an already saved audio file, or to record through microphone. If you
Audacity
click to record with microphone you will need to click Allow when it Jing
asks about accessing that devide. Then use the red dot button to
begin and stop recording. If you don’t like the message click on the
blue X and try again. You can try it out as often as you like with the
play and stop buttons. When finished with audio again click on the
blue next button. Then click the blue OK button.

from the save page to the completed
blabber. Then it will fade out to
black.

Then click on the pink save button. You will need to enter text Windows Movie Maker
into all three of the fields in order for it to allow you to save. Audacity
Then click save again. If done correctly it will show Victory. Jing
Then it takes you to the completed Blabber.


Frame Description:
Lessons Learned
The words Lessons Learned will
1. Student Expectations fade into the black. Then the words
1. State Expectations will appear as
the first in a bulleted list. The image
of the rubric will appear in front of
the words and then will disappear
again.

First- State your student expectations clearly. I provided my 6th grade Windows Movie Maker
students with a simple checklist of what they needed to include. It is
Audacity
easy to adapt this project to the content of most world language units.
It is also helpful to go through the process with them first. I showed Paint.net
mine how it worked on the big screen before going to the computer
lab.


Frame Description:
Lessons Learned
The words 2. Image Limitations will
1. Student Expectations appear underneath the words 1.
2. Image Limitations Student Expectations. The image of
the file types, mouths, and copyright
will appear in front of the words and
then will disappear again.

Second, jpgs are the most supported image file by Blabberize, the Windows Movie Maker
program will not allow large image files to be uploaded without
Audacity
glitches. I also found that the finished products look more realistic if
the original mouths on the images are closed. You should also remind Paint.net
students about copyright issues if they are not uploading their own
images.


Frame Description:
Lessons Learned
The words 3. Recording Limitations
1. Student Expectations will appear underneath the words 2.
2. Image Limitations Image Limitations. The image of the
3. Recording Limitations recording navigation bar will appear
in front of the words and then will
disappear again.

Third, in order to utilize the Free segment of Blabberize, keep in mind Windows Movie Maker
that the recordings can be no longer than 30 seconds. It is also
Audacity
important to note that if a class of students are working on it at the
same time, depending on the quality of headsets the recordings will Paint.net
pick up other things occurring in the room.


Frame Description:
Lessons Learned
The words 4. Saving Limitations will
1. Student Expectations appear underneath the words 3.
2. Image Limitations Recording Limitations . The image of
3. Recording Limitations the finished blabber options will
4. Saving Limitations appear in front of the words and then
will disappear again.

Fourth, it is important to establish a saving method that will allow you to grade Windows Movie Maker
the students’ blabbers. You could let them all log in to an account you create to
save their blabbers as their last name (with this option you run the risk of Audacity
students deleting other students’ work). You could have them save it as public Paint.net
through their own log in and have them e-mail you the url. You could have them
save it as public through their own log in and have them save it with very specific
terms that will allow you to search for them in the Blabberize browse.
Depending on the grade level you teach, you could also have them embed their
Blabber onto their website. And coming soon, you could have them save it as a
video.


Frame Description:
Lessons Learned
The words 5. Navigation Bloopers
1. Student Expectations will appear underneath the words 4.
2. Image Limitations Saving Limitations. The image of the
3. Recording Limitations IE Back navigation button will appear
4. Saving Limitations and disappear. Then the image of
5. Navigation Bloopers the Blabber navigation bar will
appear in front of the words and then
will disappear again. Then all words
will fade into the black.

Last, but certainly not least- DO NOT use the back Windows Movie Maker
button in this application. If at any point you use the Audacity
back button your browser, you are back to square one. Paint.net
Encourage students to use the Blabber navigation bar
and to avoid the browser back button at all costs!


Frame Description:
The wordle will appear again into the
black. After the narration a jingle will
fade in and then back out.

I hope the information proves helpful! That’s it for this Windows Movie Maker
time. Thanks for watching the Spanish Class Audacity
Technology vodcast. Join us again next time as we Paint.net
