Avatar Post
I enjoyed creating the Avatar and especially enjoyed seeing how creative others were with their Avatar. I would like to spend more time exploring this to understand all the choices available. I know 2nd graders would love to see an avatar present information to them, rather than it always be the teacher. I teach themes throughout the year and it would be fun to introduce each new theme with an avatar. I didn't record my voice, but would want to do this if I was using an avatar to introduce myself to the kids at the beginning of the year. I would like to use the idea mentioned today to use this tool when teaching and reviewing the rules with kids. In my classroom we talk a lot about the traits of the characters we read about, and I thought it might be fun to create avatars with groups of students and have them come up with character traits for their Avatar.

Ooh, I like this idea--taking it to the next level. How would you have the traits be portrayed through an avatar?
