Well this was a fun tool, creating an avatar! I feel like I was actually able to create something that I will use in my classroom within the first week of school.
I created an avatar that helps to teach a beginning of the year routine for lining up. I think the kiddos will enjoy having the opportunity to learn this routine in such a unique way. I also love the idea that I will be able to go back to this specific avatar and replay it throughout the year when the class needs reminders.
I think I will make a couple of routines to teach using the same avatar, that I have named Ms Rich-atar. However, I think it is important to keep in mind that it would be easy to overdo it. I am hoping that by doing just a few important routines I can make using an avatar in this way both fun and valuable.
When is anything too much of a good thing? I say, go overboard!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the idea of creating little avatar clips for classroom procedures! Have fun! And please post links!
ReplyDeleteMartha,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the nice comment. I am excited about it too. Also thank you for the class, while I still have very little confidence in my computer abilities I now have some usable tools to put in my toolkit.
