Voki

Using avatars to tell their story would be a fascinating journey.  It was one of the craziest projects that I did for my blog!  It is so easy too!  Just go to Voki and join up! Here is a tutorial How to Create a Voki  This would be a great idea for open house or just introducing yourself to each other.  It really doesn't take too long.  I think if you would show how to do it just once on the smart board, your kids wouldn't need too much assistance.
