Halloween Avatar

One of the students prompted me to explore avatars again. I reviewed an article she posted on 10 Ways to Used Avatars in Education at http://www.guide2digitallearning.com/teaching_learning/10_ways_use_avatars_education

One of the links was broken, but I played with a Voki avatar.  See the video below and enjoy!

Free Education Tools

Chelsey, a student in one of my classes discovered a site where she created a rubric to analyze patient education websites, rCampus at http://www.rcampus.com/

When reading "about us" the site notes that the tools are free and that the resources are available because of support of the sponsors (it is a .com website).  Use of the site requires a login and password.  The site includes free tools for classes, eportfolios, and rubrics.  I am very interested in hearing from others who have used the site.
