Part 6 Response

Part 6 Response Ch.23-26 I used Voki to create an avatar. I created one I thought would suit me well only to find out I would have to pay to use it. I used one that had no likeness to me at all. I'm not sure how some parents might respond to this. Not really worried about it though. The process of sending the avatar to my blog was not at all intuitive as to how. This could be used to introduce myself as a teacher or give instructions in a more interesting was. Creating avatars is fun and I could see students getting into designing it and giving instructions to others in a upcoming events, classwork, and problem solving. I would use it to introduce myself,tell of things to come in the classroom or give short instructions. Voki gives 60 sec to use for narrating.  I would need this combined with pictures and/or text on the same page to refer to what I'm talking about. It would be fun to have the avatar pose a question to be answered the next day in class or present a math problem/puzzle or introduce a survey. Maybe connect it to Google Form. Can one avatar talk to another? It would be fun to have two avatars discussing a problem. Or, could they be timed so one avatar asks a question and the other answers. It was easy to give the narration for the avatar by selecting record and talking to the built in mic. I was thinking it would good for someone who wants to remain anonymous to use an avatar and bogus name.
