Robot Avatars for 2-1 Kid Blog

Students will be making an avatar for our kid blog.  I plan to have students use Konstructorz to create their own robot avatars.  I will guide students to the site at school. Students will choose the blank canvas, click on the "+" and choose "Robot" parts to make a robot picture.  Then students will be taught how to take screen shots, save to the desktop, and upload the robot avatar picture to their Kidblog account.  Parents may view the Kidblog by clicking on the link in our classroom blog.  You will need to use your child's login password to view the site.

I would encourage parents to preview the Konstructorz site before deciding if your child is free to use all the options on Konstructorz at home.  One of the avatar options (NOT a robot option) is weapons. Student will not be allowed to use the weapons option for their Kidblog avatar.
