My current incarnation

Here's my word for the week: avatar. If you can find the definition among all the ads, I'm interested in the second one--a visual representation of a person in an on-line environment.

My little picture on 43 Things is an avatar.

I'm participating in an on-line conference this week and someone mentioned a desire for avatars. I can see why. It's hard to remember who said what in a conference with over 400 participants. One extra little clue, particularly a visual one, might be all it takes to pull that information out of my brain. I wish we had them on Blackboard, the course software we use for on-line classes, too. I'm constantly confusing Carly with Clare.     #
