Creating My Avatar ~ Who Knew It Could Be So Fun?

     Because I am a teacher, I was reluctant to use my picture on this blog. So, how can I use my creativity and desire to become more familiar with technology and programs that we can use in the classroom to benefit instructional practices? The answer, have some fun and create a mini-me or an avatar. An avatar is just a picture or graphic image that one can use to represent themselves when photos are not an option. I used the website www.doppelme.com/ to create a version of myself for this blog. I must admit, I had a lot of fun with the various options that you could select when creating yourself. I decided to create a FUN avatar. I did not take myself too seriously when I made my avatar. Take a peek and remember to tell me what you think.


     I am a Language Arts teacher and am already thinking forward to the next school year (anyone who is a teacher, knows that before summer begins, our minds our spinning with planning and ideas to use for the next school year) I know it is crazy but true!! At the start of school in September, we always write a short autobiography as a getting to know you activity. I think this year, my students will add the creation of their own avatar! I know they will have a blast doing it! What do you think? Let me know your ideas for adding this program to the classroom.
