Year 1 DigiTech Lessons

Lesson 10

Learning Intention

To create an avatar to post safely online.

Lesson Information

When we want to keep our personal information (like how we look) safe on websites (like on Mathletics or Epic) we can create a cartoon picture of ourselves.  You can include general information like your hair colour or favourite sport. Or you can be completely different!

Go to https://www.teachstarter.com/au/widget/avatar-creator/ and create your own avatar.  Make up 4 different versions – all a little bit different from each other. 

Reflection

Why is it important to use an avatar rather than use a real photograph online? Click on this link:  https://tinyurl.com/Yr1T4W1

I’d also love to see to see your work! Please take a photo and email to: mziino@hillsmeade.vic.edu.au

Lesson 9: Drawing Gardens with Loops
