Assignment Title: Eric Tunney's Talking Image
Uses in the Classroom: Having students create a "Fotobabble" or something similar would be a great way for kids to introduce themselves into a new class (much like we have done in past online grad classes). This could be a less stressful way for at-risk kids, freshman entering a high school, students with poor social skills, etc. to introduce themselves as well as for everyone to learn about one another. Most students are fascinated with technology and themselves and this assignment combines the two!
Issues to Consider: Technology availability would be one thing to consider. If a school has iPads, chrome books, or computer labs with microphones and cameras then there are little issues to overcome. However, without this availability it may be difficult to get 30+ kids in a class to figure it out without all looking at the same screen at the same time. Then again, most kids have a cell phone in their pocket which in most cases has the same capability.
