Teachers – would you like to have charles darwin speak to your class about evolution? Or maybe have George Washington explain to them about the war of independence?
Here’s how you can do that with a tool called Hey Gen which lets you create talking avatars.
Now I’ve done things like this before in sites such as Blabberize and apps such as Chatterpix. So do go and check those out as well.
I’ve used recurring characters in science lessons such as Pirate Pete to pose questions to the children to set up a practical investigation. You could have a character from a book the children are studying, or a famous person from history.
Hey Gen has a free plan which lets you produce a couple of these and then there are paid plans. Each video you produce uses up some of the credits up here.
