Avatars and Cartoon Characters

Students can use avatars and cartoon character creating tools to recreate historical figures, represent themselves, or to design characters for a story!

Build Your Wild Self- Is a site where you can create yourself as a human choosing from clothes, hair, ears, etc.  Then you can add animal parts such as a tail, horns etc.  and email or save your creation! Above is my wild self...

Creaza

Creaza is a website featuring four excellent tools for creating mind-maps, cartoons, animated movies, and audio recordings. You can register for the free version which is great and if you want more themes and other features you can contact Creaza to upgrade to a premium version. I was especially impressed with the cartoon and audio tools. There are endless possibilites with using this technology in the classroom to enhance learning.

Here is a You Tube Video that gives a nice overview of Creaza:
