I looked through the list of web tools, and I found Blabberize.com. Basically, the site allows you to upload a picture and make it talk. The process is simple. You upload the picture, cut the mouth out of the picture, and then record whatever you want to say. This would be a funny tool to use in the classroom because, as on the website, you can use any picture. The website uses animals and they are having a conversation about blabberize. It is informative, yet comedic. I could see myself using this in a classroom as an ice breaker to get the class comfortable with each other, but they are also learning to use a web tool.
I like this because of the fun that it can add to a classroom. This would be fun to use outside of the classroom, but it does have it's educational purposes. Some students learn best this way because of the excitement that is added to the daily routine.
