Tellagami
is a popular app that our teachers are beginning to implement into their
lessons. This app allows you to create a
gami; a gami is an avatar. You make the
decision for how you want your gami to look, act, and speak. Tellagami is a free app; however, there is a
paid version if you are looking for more variety for your gami.
Book
talks, reports, speeches, and presentations are just a few ways that Tellagami
can be used in your classroom. A student
will be able to use his own voice to record what his gami will say. Tellagami adds an innovative technology piece
to the classroom, providing the student with a hands-on opportunity to create
and then present the gami.
A
verbal book talk in front of the class with a detailed hand written outline is
a method that we are all familiar and comfortable with; however, we, as
educators need to integrate what our students are comfortable with as
well…technology! As stated in the
November, 2014 issue of Edutopia, “ Technology helps make teaching and learning
more meaningful and fun.” Tellagami is
just one way to do this!
