So what exactly is a blog? A blog is a webpage that is set up in a series of posts which are like entries in a journal. Blogs are a part of the online social networking world, and in the case of blogs used in schools, a part of the larger online educational networking world.
Voki
Voki is a website that generates personalized avatars. The main difference between this and the one that I have used with yahoo is there is less of a choice in creating a more personalized graphic. If my students were going to create one for a character analysis, I would imagine that Voki would fit perfectly with this task because it is easy to select the basic things to create a character!
I did find some things challenging. I was "hung - up" on specifics like hair color and skin color. As soon as I got past the "not being perfect" stage, I was good to go!
