Another project for the Digital Differentiation workshop I’m preparing! This time I was looking at avatar creation as a way to differentiate either the deliver of content to students or, even more excitingly, as a way to differentiate for demonstration of mastery of knowledge.

Students could create a Voki or Tellagami project that includes script-writing to show deep understanding of the content you’ve been working on. They could even make a series of these projects if the 30 second time limit isn’t long enough. If you’re lucky enough to be working on the iPad with both Tellagami and iMovie…smash those apps together! Record short Tellagami projects, save them to the iPad’s photoroll and then import them into iMovie to piece them together into one single movie!

Anyway, here are my two talking avatar projects for you to compare:

Voki Project: (Warning: Voki uses Flash and will not play on an iDevice.)
