23 Things on a Stick: Thing 1
I had a chance to go to the Yahoo website to create an avatar there. Since I already had an account, it was relatively easy to do. It would be a good activity for my after school computer club to try, but since they may not have Yahoo accounts, I was interested in exploring the Voki website as well. I still need to test this, but I believe you can create an avatar and “grab” the code to embed it without having an account. I did set a Voki account, so my avatar is available to me whenever I want to use it. My Voki avatar is the larger image above. She/me is pretty cool, because of the voice and animation. They are both a much younger version of me, but I sure didn’t want to be a cat or an old grandma which were some of the many other choices available!
I couldn’t put the Voki in as a sidebar widget, but I read that Sue Waters from Edubloggers is working on the fix for that.
Create a free edublog to get your own comment avatar (and more!)
thanks for this - i have wanted to know how to do this for a while. i will head over to yahoo and gave a go.
