My Avatar

I used Voki.com to create this personalized avatar.  This website is really cool because it allows you to change every aspect of your avatar from hair and eye color to clothing to even a background location.  After you create your avatar, you have four options to record audio for it.


I think this would be a fun source of technology for students to use to represent characters in my class.  Last year we did a character monologue project; students chose a character from a book, wrote a monologue that brought that character to life, and presented these characters to the class.  They could do the same project and use an avatar for the presentation that would add the element of what that character looks like, talks like, where they live etc.  They could then present their character avatar to the class when completed.
