Avatars in Education

Avatars can be very useful in education for communication purposes. Some children may feel more comfortable expressing their feelings or commenting about something, and may feel more at ease when they are represented by someone other than themselves. Also, I think it would be a useful tool because students may be more ready to complete tasks given by the avatar rather than the teacher who is in the "power" role. It also may simply be more fun for the students to explore their creativity when being able to create and use the avatars. Print Page in IE
