Weekly Tool Application: Gamification
I taught my students how to create their own avatar, using the Wild Thing app. I had them place it into their canvas account. Mine went in fine but some of the students could not get it to go into their account. They enjoyed creating something in comic form instead of just using their pic. I liked how easy it was to use and the avatar actually looked like them.
I didn't like some of the functions to choose from. I thought it looked kind of violent.
I definitely would use this again but would trouble shoot next time before presenting this to our students so I'm prepared to help them get it into their Canvas profile.
Below are some of the students avatar creations.
