Tellagami

Hi everybody.

This week’s Project is to introduce a digital storytelling app . The app I will tell is Tellagami. Tellagami is a free app and it is available for IOS and Android users.This application  is easy to use.

















When you download this app and you open it, an introduction gami video is shown to users.


Then you start to customise your character.There are options for users. For instance, After selecting the character’s sex ,you can change the character’s hair, eye colour, dressings, head, skin tone, shoes.


You can alter your own chataracter’s emotions. You can make the character confused as I display in the screen shot.


After completing all of these steps, You can choose and change the background by simply clicking on them.


In this step you can record your voice in limited timing. You can add text.




If you would like, you can share it or you can only save it.


 What can be done using that application?
I consider this app is easy to applicable. Learners can easily use it. Learners can construct their own character by individually or they can work with a group. They record their voices and they can tell the stories made up by themselves. They can share it.  It is suitable for especially young learners.  It lets students make animation quickly without struggling to understand or use it. It can enhance learners creativity and also it edutains. In other words it can provide them learning when entertaining. It can increase  the learning especially for visual and auditory learners. Language is alive but with this app and like other apps like this language learning can become more meaningful. Since sometimes language may occur a bit abstract and it needs to be more concrete.  With Tellagami, meaningful learning may come true. On the other hand, I think it has some drawbacks like movement feature. If developed, it will be more useful and enjoyable for learners. These are just my opinions. That’s all. Thanks for reading. I hope I could have given enough information for you. If you want to add your ideas please share. See you. :)
