Talking photos!
This is a new and funny tool I learned about thanks to Moira Hunter who blogged about it in her own blog, "Multiliteracies"and posted a comment to the EVO_Moderators group. With PQ Talking Photo you can choose a character or upload your own, easily animate its eyes and mouth and add an audio script. The only drawback I find is that you can't record or upload your own script, which would be great to make students talk and make their own little speeches. You must be able to do that with the full version for sure.
Moira says they are offering this tool for free for bloggers until Jan.15th but I can´t find the announcement on their website.
Convert any photo into a talking character! Receive a copy of PQ Talking Photo by just blogging it! ($59.90 value for Free).Anyway there's a free online demo for you to try.
Limited time offer: you must blog before 01/15/2008. Your blog cannot be newly created and must have at least 10 previous posts.

Hello Maria Claudia,
I´ve just subscribed to your blog and was looking at your talking picture. I found in Larry Ferlazzo´s site a tool that I believe would be more complete than this one u mentioned, it´s blabberize.com. You can upload the picture you want and then add your own recording to it. Have a look at my trial

Hi dear María Claudia, I came here surfing through different pages by Hala. What a joy running into you again.
Snapvine is a free tool where you can also have a talking photo (but plain, no add-ons). Nelly Deucht and Doris Molero are using it at the International Collaboration Ning and students love it.
All the best, cariños, Berta
Thanks, Berta and Ana Maria for your comments and contributions. I've bookmarked both applications and will try them as soon as possible.
Big kisses to you both!
Claudia
