Animated avatars are a great way to get students away from paper. Anything that can be done on paper, can be done using an animated avatar. Sites like Blabberize and Voki allow students or teachers to customize a photo, image or create an original cartoon image that speaks for them. Animated avatars could give book talks, review material learned, explain a science lab or speak from a character's perspective. Blabberize: uses photos to create avatars. You can use a photo with more than one person and have conversations. Speech is added by recording or phoning in an audio file. Voki: allows you to customize a cartoonish avatar. Speech can be added using a microphone, your phone, or by typing. Different accents can be used to enhance your avatar.
