A couple of weeks ago, we created a Voki to introduce ourself on our personal blog.  Today, I would like for you to take a look at two other avatar-making sites:  GoAnimate and Clay Yourself.  I would like for you to create an avatar at each site and, if possible, save your "creations."  Once you've visited both sites, reflect on your experiences with making all three avatars by summarizing your responses to the following questions as a post titled "Avatars" on your personal blog:

1. What is an avatar?
2. How AND why might someone use an avatar in: 1) personal life, 2) educational career, 3) business?
3. Have you used an avatar for anything prior to this class?  If so, what?
4. Of the three sites, which did you like the best?  Please explain why and give three reasons to support your response.

I hope you enjoy this activity!
