ChatterPix Kids: It is a free app, where students can create talking pictures. It is a photo-editing app through which children can change their photos into moving, talking messages. Students open the app, snap a picture or import it, draw a mouth on it and then record themselves talking for up to thirty seconds. It was created by Duck Duck Moose. It encourages kids to explore and learn in a safe and fun environment. They work with educators and do lots of play-testing with kids to ensure the apps are frustration free for little fingers and full of whimsy and wonder for all to enjoy. Children can make objects, people, animals, characters, drawings to talk by creating recordings. It can be useful for children that feel ashamed of speaking. It encourages communicative skills. Communicative tasks can be asked by teachers for children who will have fun and will be encouraged to develop speaking skills.

The app is a real time virtual classroom. Enabling the teacher or professor to tests its students giving them an instant feedback.
