Xtranormal makes your stories come to life. It's that simple. Create a story. Share a story. Watch a story. Xtranormal is an online program where you create stories, picking from a rooster of characters in differrent locations. You are able to choose "camera angles", and type your dialogue which will then be converted to digital voices. You can even choose different voices. Xtranormal on the surface is similiar to Voki, but rather than record you own voice, you type to for digital voice output, and there are a wider variety of scenes and angles.
I use Xtranormal in a similiar way to Toontastic, but with older students. I have my students develop their own scripts. If we are working on handwriting we fold that into the creative process. Xtranormal also provides students an opportunity to practice their keyboarding, as the software turns text to voice.
Xtranormal is ideal to address temporal concepts, "first, second, third, etc... as well as spatial, "above, behind, in front, etc". When the student is finished, you can email the end product to their family, or any interested party.
This is an Xtranormal video I made to support an inservice I provided to School-based OTs.
