Avatar : 8 outils en lignes

Avatar : 8 outils en lignes
Avator tools are like the comic tools I have covered in an earlier post before, they both involve the use of images but in a funny and joyful way. Of course these tools can be used for a variety of educational purposes with our students in the classroom. Let us first see what is an avatar ? An avatar is a figure or character that you can create and customize the way you want. You can use this character to interact with other friends online . Why avatars in education ? A group of students in a history class could create an Avatar for different people in history (i.e., President of the United States, Governor of Alabama, African American students and families, White police officers, and Classroom teachers). Here are some of the best web tools to create avatars : 1- Voki This is a web tool that allows you to easily create speaking characters and customise them the way you want before sharing them with others 2- Build your wild self 3- DoppelMe 4- Frenzoo 5- Gavatar 6- Clay Yourself 7- Toy Creator Related:  Couteau suisse

@Westylish's Blog: Turning students into teachers - Socrative and student led learning Over the coming weeks @Rossett iPads are being introduced on a 1-1 basis. As a teacher there I am obviously looking for ways to incorporate them into the learning (that said everything discussed here can be done on 'normal' computers using the Socrative website). This week I looked to develop my use of the Socrative app. It is an app I have been aware of for some time, but something that I had rarely used. This week I looked to change it up. In the past I have created the quizzes, and whilst I have felt them to be a decent activity, I wasn't particularly blown away by them. Before they did this I emphasised how serious I wanted the 4 multiple choice answers to be. The students then produced the quizzes. Socrative allows you to share quizzes between teachers, it gives you a 'SOC number' which allows other 'teachers' to copy the quiz. In the next lesson the students took it turns to run their own quizzes. Reflections Throughout the process the students were completely engaged.

5 Things To Consider Before Teaching An Online Course As one of the growing forces in the education sector, distance learning has taken an important position within the industry over the last few years, driving many universities to invest in platforms to deliver their courses online. One of the reasons for this increasing popularity is the growing demand of students looking for non-traditional tools that can give them the full experience, without having to sacrifice their full-time job. “Even though the education market has changed and distance learning has become increasingly popular, most institutions find themselves unprepared to face this worldwide phenomenon and lack the expertise to create a platform that makes online courses effective”, says Vitaly Klopot, Managing Director of the award-winning e-learning provider, InterActive , which partners with institutions such as the London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) and Finance Business Training (FBT) to offer a wide range of programs. 1.
