Kerpoof

Today we explored Kerpoof.  Kerpoof is a website for children or young adults to play on without the threat of something bad happening.  I find Kerpoof very enjoyable though.  On the website, you can make movies, spell pictures, make cards, draw, or tell a story.

With "Spell a Picture", you choose a background and then spell words to go in that background.

With "Make a Movie", you can choose a theme and then literally animate the scene.  It is sort of like using a flash player.

Using "Make a Card", you can design a card from the templates that they have on there.

"Make a Drawing" and "Make a Picture" are basically the same thing, except on Make a Picture, you drag and drop objects whereas on Make a Drawing, you can draw whatever you want.

"Tell a Story" was one of my favorite things on this website.  I wrote a pirate themed story.

Kerpoof is like a gaming website, because you earn coins for using the site and then can buy things at the store.  You can also make avatars if you create an account.  Here is my avatar...

Other Virtual Worlds: Small Worlds

Today I explored Small Worlds.  Small Worlds is another virtual world, similar to Meez.  However, on Small World, the actual world is a lot more complex.  On Small Worlds, everything you want to purchase costs "money", unlike Meez.  However, you can earn coins by playing games.  There are also a lot of places to hang out and interact.  And of course, you can chat.

 My avatar is the one in the orange shirt and jeans.

MeezRoomz

Today on Meez we made rooms and chatted.  In the rooms, you can chat, dance, and sit down and move around.  It is really cool because you could invite people over to your "room" and hang out.  I made my room to look like a living room.  Check out my room! This is a screen shot of my room.  Tommy and Ryan were visiting and being silly.

The only thing that could potentially be bad is that you could meet some strangers on Meez.  But to make sure that you don't, you shouldn't go into one of the public rooms.

Avatars Again...

Yesterday after making my Meez, I went to WeeWorld, another avatar site.  At this site, you get a little person. They are so cute!  There aren't many choices to clothes and stuff, but they are super easy to make.  My Wee person is at the top of the post.

Avatars Again

Today we made avatars again.

This time I went to Meez instead of Voki.  On Meez, your avatar is animated!  That means that you can make them do whatever you want, as long as it's appropriate of course.  And then you can choose it's clothes and whatnot just like any other site.  The only thing that sort of stinks about Meez is that not everything is free.  You have to play their game to get points to earn cooler stuff.  It is really cool how it is animated though.  Plus, it has a lot of choices of clothing, animations, shoes, and accessories.
Here is my Meez:

Get a Voki now!

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!
