BubbleShared Cartoon
I just couldn’t resist. No way. The BubbleShare idea was just too tempting, so I decided to forget about all the other things piled up on my desk. It’s like being a boy again who got a brand new toy 
Thanks to the wonderful people at blog06 and podcast_elt that spread the word!
What is BubbleShare? You go to bubbleshare.com and - following the easy instructions there - upload your images, put audio comments on them (online!) and either share the slideshow via E-mail, insert the code into your blog or website or photoblog it (the show gets its own rss-feed). Great. One could think of a dozen good uses for the EFL classroom: photo novels, cartoon stories, reports on field trips, introduction of places or people - you name it.
So, here’s a first and very rough attempt on using BubbleShare plus cartoons to make students talk… I could imagine to establish a collaborative blog, give students access to cartoons like that (split into panels with some erased speech bubbles) and make them fill the blanks with speech. Or - make them comment on the cartoon. Or whatever…
Here we go…
It’s a great tool, isn’t it, Uwe? I too can’t wait to play with it some more. I do like your presentation a lot, and look forwrad to seeing some more soon.

@Graham - thanks for the kind words. Im looking forward to the results of your experiments - I expect them to be far more elaborate than this sketchy thing here…
Great tool, you’re right. Wasn’t it you who initially pointed our attention to it? I think so. It first came to my attention in Anita’s (from Slovenia) blog in tthe EVO blogging workshop, but I think you triggered it, right? So - thanks!
I just wonder how long those beautiful toys (most of them still Beta) will remain free…
