First I want to apologize for not blogging as much as I should in 2019. It's been a busy year for a variety of reasons and I have not done a great job prioritizing everything that is important to me. I am making a commitment to blog at least once a week for 2020 and I am starting early with this post.
I always like to welcome my students back with a Reboot the Noggin Activity to start the New Year. I think it is important to get students reflecting and creating after a long break. I am still working on my 2020 New Year's Welcome Back HyperDoc and my Let's Start 2020 With One Word HyperDoc. I won't use both of these, but I am hoping one of these might have something other educators can use or modify for their students
Today I wanted to share my Avatar Creation Resources connected to these activities.

I've always tried to emphasize how important creating is for learning and I think students taking the time to create an avatar that represents how they see themselves is a great exercise in creativity, communication, and critical thinking.
How Can an Avatar Positively Impact Your Digital Footprint?

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I will post my updated Meme Creation Resources and the Welcome to 2020 HyperDocs soon. Happy 2020!
