The Grade 4s and 5s made avatars for their blogs

 

What is an avatar?

At our school we use avatars as a replica of the student creating them. The students use online names when they create online sites such as a blog or sites and they never put photos of themselves on their own sites - hence an avatar. One can use avatars for various purposes such as uploading a profile picture to ta Google Drive profile, a Google classroom profile, and a blog profile etc.

What is www.cartoonify.de?

I rather like this site as no login or registering is required and the students can download their avatars in three sizes to their downloads folder. We always use the smallest size, 250 X 250 pixels. 

Examples of the created avatars 

Here are a few examples of the avatars made by the students:
