NB I have decided to leave these blogposts as more or less the notes I took at the time, as sometimes lists are easier to digest and quicker to find key ideas.
Traditional talking tools
Dice - name number of words acc to dice roll for a given topic
Cooperative learning structures Kagan - quiz quiz trade
Hats masks and disguises (I think it was Sadie McLachlan who talked about having a moustache stuck to a pencil and the pupil in the group talked when they had the pencil in front of them)
Technologies
Audacity - see also José Picardo's guide to podcasting. Kids like changing their voices
Audioboo - up to 3 mins
Fotobabble
Blabberize
Crazy talk - expensive PC programme but £0.69 on iTunes
Voki (you can save them into Publisher file)
Goanimate (make voice files on audacity)
Talking Tom Cat (cartoon)
Dubbler
Puppetpals 2
Songify - see songify in action with the hilarious video "this reality hits you hard bro" on YouTube
Rory's Story Cubes
cueprompter.com great for CA practice Visoprompt free does the same job
Duolingo
Yakit kids
Line learner lite
Tellagami - some say it is better than Voki
There were lots of fab ideas in Dom's session plus we had time to play about with the apps and create different speaking activities and examples. He is putting his two talks on his blog http://domsmflpage.blogspot.co.uk
