NEW TEACHER AVATAR



Voice from the video 
Hello everyone! I am Cova and I am the youngest teacher who has tought in more than 20 different countries. I really love travel but the most amazing about it is all that I have learnt in each country with their culture and their way of teaching. 
I would like to be your teacher for this year. I am specialist in ICT and that means you can learn new things or how to speak in English playing with new technologies!! Finally, in each lesson I will show you something new about each country that I have been! So, KEEP CALM AND STILL LEARNING!! I hope to see you soon!
TOOL USED / ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS

Advantages
I used Toontastic for creating the avatar. This tool is very easy to use for kids and teachers. 
It is free, and it is not needed to register an account. 
With this app you can record your voice or even a song very easily. There are 3 different kinds of stories to create it. It is depends on the length of the story that you want to tell.
Also, they can learn how a story works and the steps to create it. (beginning, middle, the end) The app explains what you have to do in each part.
Our students have different spaces or performances to create their story and also they can draw their own scenes for that.

Drawbacks
This app is just available for android or iOS so that means you cannot use it in Pc`s,  you  just can use it in iPad, tablets or smart phones.  
The characters are predetermined but you can attach a picture in their face or draw your own character. It is not able to change the shape of their eyes or their hair.
This inconvenience is not actually bad, because if you want to keep the privacy of your students this app would be perfect.

My point of view 
In my opinión, doing this activity I learnt a lot about avatars that I did not know before. I did things with ICT that I had never done before. That means how to create an avatar, discover new useful apps and webs. Also it was a good experience because now I know the doubt that my students could have in the future when the will do their avatar because I did before. I will be able to use it in the future with my students. It was a enriching activity.
