Intro - Avatar Assignment
- Your task is define what an avatar is and to complete at least 3 avatars using various website generators.
- At least one of the avatars (hopefully all) should be an avatar version of yourself.
- Ideally, it should reflect your appearance, interests, dreams, and / or personality.
- The finished products should be:
- Your favourite avatar should be posted on the front / home page of your weebly portfolio site.
- Either beside or under the chosen avatar there should be a button that links directly to your completed Avatar assignment.
- On your portfolio site, there should also be a link to "Avatar Assignment" under the "assignments" tab of your portfolio that takes the viewer to the actual assignment. Remember to publish your site. Otherwise, I can't view the final assignment.
- Add / attach the completed avatar files and provide the link to your weebly portfolio site (the published address) on the "Avatar Assignment" in Teams.
- Your favourite avatar should be posted on the front / home page of your weebly portfolio site.
- *** NOTE some sites won't allow you to save your avatars as a picture. If that is the case, you will have to use a screen shot ("Grab" on a Mac) to capture the images, then save them to your computer. To post them to your portfolio, you will need to open the resulting .tiff files in "Preview" and save them as .jpg files. Most online website creators won't accept .tiff files.***
- Ways to maximize your mark:
- Include a detailed definition of what an avatar is.
- Include active links to the sites you used to build your avatars. (Active means when you click on the name of the website, the browser actually takes you there)
- Give each of your avatars a personality profile.
- Discuss which of your avatars you like the most and why.
- Bonus - Find and list links to other avatar or character generators that you find on line. One catch, if you do this extra feature, be sure to generate actual avatars from the site(s) listed.
- As an aside, a student (Veron) shared this interesting site with me about the origins of avatars. Well worth checking out.
