Student Blogging Challenge #3: Grade 4-6 avatars - Reasonably Clever avatars

We are getting our blogs ready for the Edublogs Student Blogging Challenge which begins at the beginning of March.  This week we are creating avatars to replicate themselves rather than adding actual photos of the learners. . I am going to use three different avatar sites this year. In the previous post we looked at Brick-a-pic which I used with Grade 7. In this post we''ll look at the two Reasonably Clever options which I used with Grades 4-6. The learners could choose which of the two they wanted to use. 

1) Reasonably Clever - Classic Kid-Safe Mini-Mizer
This is the kid safe version which is found at https://goo.gl/ASO9I. It is reasonably easy to use. All you do is click on the buttons under the image to select parts that resemble yourself. We used the Windows 10 snipping tool to download the Mini-Mizers and we then uploaded them to the blogs.  I found that the learners didn't stick to resemblances of themselves but rather chose quite way out designs!



Examples: 


2) Reasonably Clever - Blockhead
This Blockhead version was quite a popular choice. It is found at https://goo.gl/pKZND   It is also easy to use. All you do is click on the buttons next to the image to select parts that resemble oneself. We used the Windows 10 snipping tool to download the Mini-Mizers and we then uploaded them to the blogs.  


Examples: 



The learners really enjoyed creating these avatars.
