Meet and Greet App preview -- Tellagami

Tellagami is an Avatar app which allow the user to create videos with a cartoon character which then animate text which you have added.  Text may be added either via voice input, or via typing.

Five ways Tellagami can be used in the classroom;

1)  Allow students to create a presentation on any topic.
2)  Videos can be created by the teacher to introduce topics and lessons.
3)  Morning announcements in the classroom
4)  Assignment can be created by the teacher, and then uploaded to a class website
5) Social Stories can be created to help students on ASD .  Students can also be encouraged to work on verbal skills by copying the Avatar's speech.


Challenges
   Although it is possible to stitch together clips of images, it cannot be done within the app.  though the instructor indicated that it is possible to move the Avatar around the screen, we were able to figure this out as we first used it.

Strengths
   Students are able to personalise the Avatar to represent themselves.  Students can create content using images that they have recorded.  Voice can come from ether the student, or via Tex input
