Tool #1

Today I created a blog site and a Voki avatar. The blog is a way to talk with students and other teachers about learning, science and the other facets of education. For the blog site, we used blogger from Google. The site was extremely helpful on how to create a blog. It walked you step-by-step on how to create the site. I can see this as a tool in the classroom that allows students to share their ideas and works through the site. It's also a new way of communicating to other students.

The creation of the avatar was fun. It doesn't look like me, but it allowed me to have some fun creating the character. The other neat aspect is the voice creation. I'm able to send a message to anyone that visits my blog through the Voki avatar.

Stay tune for more fun!

  1. It looks like I'm going to learn lots about science thru your blog! Your blog colors and visual are certainly appealing - can tell you had fun tweaking the standard looks! I definitely want to stay tuned.

    P.S. be sure somewhere on your blog, you credit the banner picture you put up. You can do something as simple as a note at the bottom of your first post or a not in side bar gadget.
