Have students watch the video in the student chapter Wacky Media Songs: Guess Who! or show it in fullscreen.

Before the video, ask: Have you ever made any avatars? How did you decide how they should look?

After the video, ask: Why might you want to use an avatar and a nickname instead of your real picture and name when you’re online?

What are some ways you could tell the difference between a computer character and another player’s avatar when you’re playing an online game?
