You've probably heard a picture is worth a thousand. I have many fond memories of sitting around with family looking at old pictures. As a kid, I was always intrigued by photos from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. It left such an impression on me that I can't image those time periods in high definition. In my mind, the 1950's had to be in black and white. Then, the 1960's color scheme was just slightly off from reality.
Anyway, Narrable allows you to upload images and record audio with your computer's mic or you can even call in to record. Check out a final product from the Narrable website and think about how you could use this in the classroom.
One drawback to Narrable is that it isn't completely free. With Narrable you start with five free Narrables. But, at the moment, every Narrable you share earns you another free Narrable. So, share your work through email, Facebook, Twitter, or embed the Narrable on blog.
Currently, the folks at Narrable are working on an iPhone capture app that will allow users to take a photo, record audio and then upload it to Narrable.
- With Narrable you can:
- Create family histories
- Interview family members across the country about photos
- Reflect on field trip photos
- Create micro a yearbook for class trips, clubs, or small classes
