Avatars

media type="custom" key="6544437" Avatars can be used for many purposes:
 * Online persona
 * Digital storytelling
 * Intro/Motivation to a lesson
 * Icebreaker

Creating Avatars is a lot of fun and it can be used in teaching and on blogs, wikis and websites in a variety of ways. There are lots of different Web 2.0 Sites for creating Avatars. Some create a fanciful image of yourself, a famous person or an animal. Some even talk and move. The one I created above on Voki even adds audio to typed text!
