Tool #1

I really enjoyed this first tool assignment. I was already familiar how to create a blog. While in college many of my professor's incorporated blogs and blog posts into their curriculum. However, I have never created an avatar before. I think that an avatar is a great way to convey a message or create a persona without having to use personal information which is a definite plus when using blogs in a classroom setting. I could see using a blog/avatar in my classroom by having the avatar give students verbal instructions for an activity. I could also use the blog for parent communication with updates and information.

  1. That's a good idea! Using the avatar for directions.

  3. I think kids will respond well to the avatar giving them directions and keep them motivated.

  4. It is a great tool to refer parents to as well. That way the parents can know what is happening in their child's class. Great idea!
