Blabberize is an incredible tool, that can be used to create pictures that in a way bring history to life. The tool is responsible for taking a photo, and making it speak to your audience. You are able to add any photo to the site, and then personalize it with any text. You are also able to add any voice out of there choices.
Being a pre-service social studies teacher, majoring in history I can see a lot of potential in this tool. You can make any picture talk, and I feel like this could be very useful if you were teaching about an historic event like the enlightenment. You could take the enlighten philosophers picture and make them speak to the class. You could make them talk to the class about what there believes were, and why they disagreed or agreed with other thinkers.
This tool could make it easier for visual students to picture and remember what a particular famous person would do. I feel as if this tool could help break down some barriers, because they would not longer have to just read the words
The site has an age restriction of 13 years; however, if the child gets parental permission he/she will be allowed to use it.
