CrazyTalk

CrazyTalk is a software program that allows students or teachers to animate still images. Students can take pictures, paintings, etc. and bring them to life. Instead of having students create a poster or PowerPoint about General Patton, why not have them bring Patton to life so he can tell the class about himself. Characters from books can be brought to life or that shy student can animate their own image. Created by Reallusion, this software is guaranteed to excite students of all ages and make learning fun.
