Post on Avatars (tool #4)

Chapter 23 in the textbook is about using using avatars. I went to the Voki website and created an avatar. This is a humorous way to present information to others (like my students) to deliver brief pieces of information about procedures and other happenings in my classroom. The avatar can be a somewhat realistic image of a person or it can be kind of a crazy image. I like the voice option of either recording your voice to go with the corresponding avatar or you can enter the text that you want to have spoken and then choose a different voice to present the information. I think this could be a funny way to explain assignments or procedures to my students. I often have students asking me to repeat instructions that I have given to them. If I recorded the instructions with the avator, I could simply tell the students to go to my blog and listen to them again.
