12 April Avatars and Simulations

This weeks tool includes resources like Vokis, Animotos, and iGoogle. The three of these are different in function but are comparably valuable.
The voki is a great resource to use to give the students a form to express themselves. Sometimes it is hard to get kids to write. Kids like this sort of medium to communicate. The animoto is a great way to to create a short video that looks quite professional. Teachers could use it to create a digital photo story or a video of the class. iGoogle is really just a fun app for the kids. It is is great way to get information.
I can definitely see myself using these tools. The voki is a great resource to teach voice. Everyone has a different voice and the voki would be a great way to let the students practice the different voices. I really like the voki apps as a resource to get students into current events.
