Widgets for the under 13’s
Now that edublogs allows so many different widgets by using the text box, I would like to find some that might interest the students who are under 13 years old. As I am trying to teach my kids to be honest in what they are writing but still being internet savvy, I would prefer they don’t use programs which in the terms of service say “You must be over 13″. This is a disappointment because both Voki and Feedjit have these in their terms of service and I know my students were intrigued when I showed these to them.
While reading through some comments in the edublogs blog, I came across one blogger, aboatman, who recommended a Japanese/Chinese avatar creation site. I tried this out and found it very simple to use and also to install in edublogs.
What are some of the other great widgets that the under 13’s could be using?
