Avatars

1. What is an avatar? A graphical image that represents a person, as on the Internet.
2. How AND why might someone use an avatar in: 1) personal life 2) educational career 3) business? Personal life- to meet other people without using their actual faces. Educational- Talk to teachers and get information for projects. Business- Advertising certain things.
3. Have you used an avatar for anything prior to this class? If so, what? Nope.
4. Of the three sites, which did you like the best? Please explain why & give three reasons to support your response. I liked Voki the best for many reasons. For one, it has more choices & everything looks more realistic. Two, it’s a lot easier to navigate around. Three, it’s very noticeable & easy to look at, it doesn’t bore me.
