Classroom Hero Avatars
At the heart of Classroom Hero are customizable 3D avatars for students. These digital representations of students serve multiple purposes, blending the lines between virtual and physical classroom experiences. The idea is to create a way for a student's real-world achievements and actions in the classroom to transfer into a virtual experience where students can accessorize their own Avatar.
How the Avatar System Works:
Earning Power Tokens
Power Tokens are our special digital currency which students earn passively as you give out your usual rewards through Classroom Hero. Each student is capped at 10 Power Tokens per day. The goal is to equalize the number of points earned for all students that participate in Classroom Hero, creating a greater sense of achievement with each point earned.
Avatar Customization
The Power Tokens that students earn in class can be spent on their own 3D Avatar. Students can purchase new accessories for their Avatar. Avatar accessories are purposefully expensive and challenging to obtain. The aim is to boost the value of each new accessory students unlock.
Avatar Selfies
With the Avatar Selfie feature, students can take a snapshot of their current Avatar, which will be used as their class portrait, giving each student a unique touch to their profile which they can control.
Enabling Avatars
To enable avatars for your class, simply have each student create a Student account, and provide them your class code at the top of any class page from your dashboard.
Once students are signed in, that's it! Your whole class will begin earning Power Tokens and can start customizing their Avatars!
