Tellagami

Tellagami, a free iOS and Droid app that lets you create short animated movies called "Gamis," is one of my new favorite animation apps to explore. Although the site promotes the app as a way to send greetings and messages for use within social media, I see it as a great tool in the classroom. -Richard Byrne, Free Technology for Teachers

//** Gamis are talking avatars - you have 30 seconds if you record your voice, longer if you use text to speech. **// A Handful of Ideas for Using Tellagami In School - Richard Byrne

Some quick ideas you might try:


 * Have your character tell a story.
 * Pick a person in history and have them introduce themselves
 * Use a plant cell as the background and have the avatar name and discuss the function of each part of the cell.
 * Recite a famous poem or speech
 * Read a poem they wrote
 * Take a trip or go back in time and describe where the location/time period
 * Speak in Spanish, French, Mandarin or any language
