Other+Cool+Stuff



** Other Cool Stuff ** [] - This websites allows you to create customized avatars with unique features and voices. The following link shows my avatar, Professor McBoltsy, as he leads a lesson I taught on clouds. You create the avatar and plan what he/she is going to say. It is super cool. I made four (4) videos and used him sporadically throughout the cloud lesson. The kids get a kick out of it, I mainly used it as a motivator/to switch things up. Not the most academically significant thing, for sure, but I think personalized touches like this really help enhance the learning experience. Check out one of the videos here (I embedded McBoltsy into my wiki):http://juliano3.wikispaces.com/Voki. Let me know if you want any help setting one up (Jimmy).
