NOTE: This site definitely requires supervision. I am very disappointed to say that despite the educational uses of this site, there is inappropriate content on it. When designing your avatar, in the Stuff then Gadgets category, there is an option to illustrate your avatar displaying an inappropriate hand signal or holding a lit cigarette. Also, in the Clothing category, there are some quite revealing clothing items.
It is disappointing that this content is on the site because I imagine students thinking that this avatar site is more interesting than others. But, with proper supervision, I think it would still be possible to use. Either way, at least you all know about it now!
Here's mine:
I agree. It is a shame that such a wonderful thing has such inappropriate content. This is a good way to show educators that even though things really are wonderful, they have a down side to them.
ReplyDeleteAlso it will help to remind adults that they DO need to regulate their students/children Internet usages and what they do on there.
