Mad Lips App = Blabberize

So, I ran across this app for the iDevices called Mad Lips.  Currently it costs $2.99...but I heard it has been free at one point.  It is a lot like Blabberize, but it works on the iPad.  Here you can import pictures or use some from their picture bank and then record yourself saying something.  You have some choices like different sounding voices and how much of your own face shows up in the video.  This is just another way to bring book talks/summaries, character analysis, and other projects to life!  The video is saved write in your photos and I am sure can be emailed to the teacher.  In the lesson link below the author talks about having students post it to Edmodo...I don't know if this still has to be done on the computer or if Edmodo and the iDevice are talking more fluently...  It seems like you should be able to pull something from your photo album and attach it to Edmodo...but I don't know since I don't have an iDevice to try it on!  Maybe someone can comment as to whether this works yet or not!

Here is a lesson plan idea using this app to create book reports/talks or character review for LA class:  http://www.appeducation.com/2012/06/17/talking-book-covers-using-mad-lips/
