Avatars

A talking avatar can have many uses in the classroom. In biology, my students research a biologist, create an avatar on VOKI and write a very simple speech for their Voki. Included are my instructions I give out in class, timeline of steps to complete the project and the grading outline I use. Voki also has an educators tab with lesson plans for different subjects. media type="custom" key="11281092"media type="custom" key="11281138" Thanks,Brady Rasner and Lathan Painter for letting me use these!



iPad alternative : Tellagami
Another application you could use that might go a little more in depth would be a fakebook on ClassTools.net. The students create a fake facebook page for their biologist.
