Voki
Entirely free.

Some customizations cost money. I do NOT expect anyone to pay for their customizations, there are plenty of free ones to come up with something you are happy with.
Play with both avatar sites. In today's post discuss and compare the two. Can you hotlink the two avatar sites in your post? Give it a try. In addition, see if you can find out the origin of the term avatar. Can you hotlink your source?
Once you've made an avatar your happy with (on either site), make it a gadget on your blog. In order to do this, you'll have to open the design tab in blogger's dashboard. Once there you'll need to add a gadget, click add a gadget then choose the html gadget. You'll have to copy the html code for your avatar from the site you made it onto into the gadget window that popped up in blogger.
Unsure how to do any of this? 1st- Give it a try. 2nd- Ask your neighbor. 3- Ask me for help.
Last 5-10 minutes of class: Today's blog post should include a reflection on the customization of your blog and the creation of your avatar.
I thought this activity was really fun! The voki's were really cool because they could talk.
