==As of the start of the 2008-09 school year, I have started posting the majority of links and resources to a Delicious page. Why? Because it saves me time and the links are organized by "tags" which make them easier for you to find. [|Click here to go to that site.]==

==Would you like to be automatically updated when I add resources to this wiki and/or the Delicious page? Use RSS technology. Check out the RSS page for quick tutorials and an overview of what RSS is, how to use it, etc.==

This is an example of an avatar. How could you use an avatar? Have your kids create an avatar to explain something in your class, travel back to a certain period of time, predict the future, do a book talk...you get the point. Create your own avatar to do mini-lessons or introduce topics. Kids will love it and they'll learn at the same time.

The avatar above was created using Voki. [|**Get a Voki now!**]
