Hello everybody!
Today we start with our learning journal about ICT and CLIL.
First of all I want to introduce you our blog's avatar. He is going to be with us during the course so let's learn some thing about him.
"Hello, it's me Teacher Peter, I lived in the Internet and that's why I know so many things: I have all the information you can imagine just by clicking on the appropriate link. I'm 25 years old and I like helping other people to learn and achieve their goals. My main occupation is keeping all the information neat and tidy. I'm really looking forward to meet you all lads!"
He was created with Voki. It is a web page that allows teachers (It is mainly focus on education) to create avatars. These avatars, I believe, are attractive to children of a wide age range. In this web page many options are avaible when creating avatars, starting by choosing a character from a really diverse platform. These can also be customised, adding some items and changing their characteristics. After that backgrounds can be added. Finally you can add a voice to your avatar by typing the message you want to shre or by recording yourself.
The main drawback of this platform is that if you want to get access to some features, like sharing the avatar directly to this blog, you have to subscribe to this application and pay an amount of money a month.
See you in next posts!
