Technology Enhanced Presentations

Reducing Presentation Anxiety 

Chatterpix is an app that can make any image appear to talk. Users select an image, draw a line to make a mouth and record their voice. Once completed, this video can be shared with family, friends, classmates, etc, for FREE!  

This innovative tool is an effective way of providing opportunities for production-centred, connected learning experiences. This tool can be used as a means of allowing for independent knowledge building that is then collaboratively built upon through sharing and discussing products with peers. Students are able to explore personal interests (for example, a famous person they wish to know more about) and are then able to share what they have learned with their peers in a creative way (eliminating anxieties that may arise as a result of presentations). Personalization allows for more meaningful connections and class discussion provides opportunities for new connections, various perspectives and promotes collaborative knowledge building. The final Chatterpix videos can be placed on social networks, thus expanding the collaborative learning community. Students can share their ideas with students in other learning communities, comment, discuss and gain new insights/perspectives.
