Below is another video in the same series called Wiki’s in plain English.  I hope you find this useful.

Face sketch Is a great way to look at the proportions of faces on a whiteboard in an art lesson. It is also another really good for making some cartoon face which you can animate in CrazyTalk.

MonoFace. This goofy time killer might take awhile to load, but it’s worth the wait if you enjoy doodling with people’s faces. Simply click on the eyes, nose, mouth, and heads to change those elements into 759,375 combinations. There’s also an image gallery of collected favorites and a “shuffle face” mode for random digital Gurning.

It’s a Flash-based application that allows you to mix and match various facial features from a number of real-life people to make interesting and sometimes hilarious results. The blending between the various features is fantastic, with only the occasional face that ends up looking like a real cut-and-paste job. The rest look either hilarious or slightly unsettling! (quoted from Tim Rylands Blog )

Mr Picasso Head enables you to create simple picasso styled portraits which can then be animated in CrazyTalk.

Potato Head is a digital vertsion of the old children’sgame with the same name. Good to use with young children and then animate in CrazyTalk.

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Here is a sample of one created from the first scene of Oliver Twist:

Think of Google Documents as Word or Excel online. The students have access to it where ever they go. Here is a simple explanation of how they work.
