How it works:
Students create an avatar and
manipulate the background to create
a short video clip . They can type a
script or record their own voices to
make the avatar speak.



My observations:
using animation with students has
a profound effect on their
participation level.
Learners feel free to express when
they have the opportunity to
separate themselves from the
physical world
Students who are usually
introverted tend to get more
engaged with animation. It makes
them feel safer and are more
willing to participate in class.



Only one avatar at the time can be used
Learning outcomes must be clearly specified,
so students have a clear goal in mind when
making the avatar speak (they don’t get lost
just in the “fun” of the activity).
Video clips are limited to 30 seconds
(for longer videos, video clips can be saved
in the camera and combined using iMovie).

Teacher can create a free account (for one year) and add students.
Students tell a short story by adding narration to pictures they
have taken or found online.
Projects can be shared via email, Facebook, or by embedding them
into a blog.
Audio can be recorded through a computer’s microphone or by
calling into a Narrable’s access phone number. They can also
upload an audio recording that is stored on the computer.
