=**What is fotobabble:**=

=
Fotobabble is a site that allows you to share your pictures or clip art (saved from your computer) and add your own voice to the picture. Along with adding your own voice recording you can also add boarders to your picture, you can tag people in your photo, and give your photo a title. You can link your facebook page with fotobabble and use pictures from facebook. I like how you can link facebook and you are able to use this on any computer, all you need is your log in information. Another thing I like about fotobabble is you can share it with your friends and family or you can keep it private. You would be able to use your student's pictures without everyone seeing them. One other thing that I also liked was you can also link the photos from fotobabble to your blog or other class site that you may use. The one downside to the site was your recording can only be 60 seconds long.======

=**Ways you can use this in the classroom:**=
 * **During parent night or open house you could have students make their own talking photo and tell their parents what their favorite thing is about school or something they learned about school.**
 * **I was thinking of using it in my kindergarten classroom with my site words or other CVC words. I could take a picture of a cat and then sound out the word for cat as they are looking at the picture. They can then sound it out after my voice is done talking.**
 * **Students could also use it in writing. After students draw a picture and write a sentence the teacher can take a picture and the student can re-tell their sentence with the picture they drew and then share it with the class (it could be a different way to share work).**


 * Autumn - I think you did a really nice job with your Web 2.0 Tool investigation! I have never used Fotobabble before in my classroom, but after checking out what you said and the actual website, I think it could be very educational. I love your ideas also for implementing Fotobabble and plan to steal a couple :) I also like that you can link it with basically any other website as well. The only think I can see as being difficult is recording only being 60 seconds long. I'm wondering if it'd be better to use a different platform for your first suggestion to using this in the classroom so that the student could talk for longer than just a minute? Great job! **
