As learning and teaching covers so many different topics, content, media, arts, skills and achievements, the delivery of all these areas is just as complex, varied and engaging. I can imagine where this particular internet tool would be useful within an arts class, drama or maybe even sose, either as a project for students or even for the teacher to use as a mode of delivering a boring topic that the kids would generally lose interest in. This is a fun entertaining delivery system but it is time consuming and limited in its functions and limited in the use. I will not be pursuing this tool for any use in one of my classrooms.

I could use this site for making signs on safety or key points to remember, acceptable behavior. There are many little uses this program could be used for. Static art, not really a war stopper, it is easy to use and students will be able to use it with ease and may even enjoy using it. I don't put alot of academical credit on this tool but it is a nicety, not a necessity. Have fun but don't waste your day on changing the world with it.

Whether it is just me not knowing how to use it, or it just a poor program. Either way, not much chop. Where with wordle.com, I would use for signage and posters, this tool I would not use at all for any reason, the functions are very limited and the end product is weak. That is all there is to say about this.
No....No...NO..

A fun interactive website. I have said it before and it won't be the last time, I can't use this tool for my lessons. Maybe to get the students to expand theiir imagination, I could get them to play with programs like this but as for using it to achieve any manual arts content projects, it is a BIG NO. I did show my youngest son though and he likes to play with it.

If given a power point presentation or any type of digital presentation, you could, for a little bit of humor, use this tool. As an arousal at the beginning of a lesson or as a reminding farewell that is bound to keep the students tuned in to the topic. Another fun tool, but again no real weight to its usefulness with teaching content.
A problem with this tool is, again, you need to have more supporting equipment, like a voice recorder, and a digital camera if you want to use specific image to talk for you. If it had the option of typing in your words, that would make it more user friendly. If this was a student homework project and I don't have support equipment, I am going to be a lazy little student and blow off doing this blabberize exercise.
To bad.
Claymation- an art students dream, that for the teacher too I would imagine. No real, or even close to real application for manual arts, so no. Only if you had a student to which you could not connect to but was a creative minded student would you even think of this tool.

This program could be used by students to make mini movies, as in still frame productions used demonstrating how to make a project or used for demonstrating a teaching technique. This program is good, but it is time consuming and the download is at a cost. This program can be atteiveds through Microsoft movie maker as well for free.
