Avatars





Today we made Avatars.
An avatar is a digital cartoon-like representation of a real person. Thanks to many free web services, you don’t have to pay an artist for your cartoon illustrations. All you have to do is upload your photo, or perform some mix and match. There are many websites that allow you to create avatars, like voki, which is what we used today.


Making avatars is entertaining and addicting.  You can customize them anyway you want.  You can change the clothes, backgrounds, and you have many different body and face types to choose from.  It was a lot of fun deciding just what you wanted your avatar to look like.  Plus, on voki, you can make your avatar talk!

How I Currently Use Social Media

The main way I use Social Media is through Facebook.  However, I like to talk on Google Chat too.  Now I'm blogging with the BBB!  I also enjoy checking out some rocking videos on youtube, like A Very Potter Musical.  I sometimes like to play tetris too. It just depends, you know?
