What is Fotobabble?
Fotobabble quickly turns a picture into an audio picture story. A student can comment on a photo, explain what's happening, or tell a story related to the photo.

How does it Work?
A student uploads an image then allows Fotobabble to access the computer's microphone to start recording his/her voice. Once a theme (frame) is chosen, the finished Fotobabble can be linked or embedded.

Who uses it?
Educators and students of all ages benefit from this powerful tool. Middle and high school students are often encouraged to have their own account, however, elementary students do not meet the age requirements to have their own account.

What are the Benefits of Fotobabble?
Fotobabble is a neat little tool for students to use to share brief stories and original writing or poetry, or as a tool to summarize what they have learned about a topic. Over time a class could build a collection of audio captioned images that cover content from the class by embedding their Fotobabble creations on a class blog or wiki.

It is often held up in the Barracuda, and, on occasion, does not go through at all.
