 I'm going to show you this really cool text chat animator and what it would allow you to do is to create a text message string that has four characters maybe from a novel you're reading or maybe some science facts or some kind of content that these people will be able to talk, have dialogue and show maybe students what they know. So it's really cool. It's really easy and it's free. So if you go to this website, you'll be able to get in for free and you'll be greeted with the screen that looks very similar to this, okay? So what you'll be able to do is scroll down just a little bit and it'll have the demo one running. So we're going to ignore that for right now, but when you go down here a little ways you'll see that you have four characters you can choose from. So I'm going to do one kind of more based on let's just say some science ideas. So all you do is right here where it says the name of the person you can click there, delete their name out and insert other people. So I'm going to go ahead and put in some famous scientists. Now not only just names, but just like your phone does, you can put on avatar images. So if I click the little upload button right here, I can choose some pictures that I've downloaded already. So now I have their avatars done and their names. And then what you'll see down here is where you would enter in the text or the conversation that they're having through their text messaging. You choose which person you'd like to speak first. So I'm going to choose off of this little dropdown, Newton. And then all you have to do in this box is type what you would like them to say. And then work your way down the conversation. All right, and after you're done putting in the conversation, if you need more dialogue because that wasn't enough, you just click the add another message and then you would see the blank line here. So you can go ahead and add more in if you needed to. So once that's all done, if you scroll up a little ways, you can hit the record the animation and what it does by default is it's going to save a video. So a video file that can be used in anything, maybe it's just a video that you're going to play or you'll put it in Google Slides or some way that you can actually use a video file. But keep in mind like a document or a website, if you were just going to send it to let's say a posting like a tweet or a message board, videos don't always play that way. You could also save it as a GIF and what that is just an animated picture. I would recommend making sure both these are on because you may have places the video doesn't play like you want it to. With an animated GIF, you can put it in a document, you can put it in a Twitter post, you can put it anywhere, anywhere that you can add an image. So I always select the save as a GIF as well. Something else to consider too is that if you scroll up, you can change the delay time of how fast this scrolls. So this is a much faster text response. So if you want a shorter video or a shorter GIF, all you have to do is slide it to the left. If you want it to be slower, you would slide it to the right and it'd be very slow. So I'm going to go ahead and make this a pretty quick one just so it scrolls through pretty quickly. Make sure that you've turned your GIF rendering on if that's the choice that you want. And then all you have to do is click the record animation button. And I can watch this play and then it will come up and say save your video. So this is the video and it'll save to wherever you want it. And then your GIF will also download. I had just run it so mine's already on my desktop. So then what you have is your animated chat. This is a GIF. So this is basically just a video so it'll play anywhere. And then I also have the video I just made. So you have the two files that you can use now. One is a video and one is a GIF. And then you can go ahead and put this anywhere you would like to demonstrate your knowledge of that subject. So really kind of a cool way to have students share characters in a reading story, science concepts, social studies. It can work in any content area and just analyzing some of those character traits or conversations that you can have.
