Tool #1: Getting Started in the Classroom
Whew! That was intense! OK. So I've never made an Avitar before and I think it was pretty cool. I really liked being able to change the colors, clothing, hair, body-style etc. I wanted more options, but it was fun. I think that Kinder students would have a blast creating Avitars. We could use them in the begining of school as a way to introduce ourselves. Students create self portrait and write about themselves and then transfer it to an Avitar, record a voice message and present it to the class on the projector. I'm sure after that experience we could use them throught the year to discuss different content areas. As for the blog itself I'm still thinking of an appropriate way to introduce it on a kindergarten level. Any ideas?

Congrats on getting started! I think you have great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI googled "Kindergarten blogs" and found over 4 million links -- here's the first one:

Looking at other kinder blogs will give you ideas on how they can be used by that age level.
Ok I am back in and ready to get re-started! I am looking forward to us sharing ideas so that we can really take advantage of all this new technology we are getting. I have to say that when I first started I thought this was a whole different thing. Now I realize it has so much more to it than what i thought.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's kinda awesome!
