As a headmaster of Põlva Gymnasium, I'm always open to and looking for new ideas and projects that could help me turn our school more and more into an educational facility where learning happens throughout the day and not only in the classrooms and where students work side by side with staff to achieve the mutual goals.

I have been teaching German since 1981. For the past seven years, I’ve been a German language teacher and educational technologist at our lovely Põlva high school. Since 2005, I´ve been conducting international projects with my students (ETwinning, European and Erasmus+ projects, students’ email exchange,) to motivate them to learn German, to improve their German language skills, teamwork, and digital competences etc.

Hi there! My name is Leo-Martin, and I'm a technology and AI enthusiast currently completing my final year at Põlva Gümnasium. I love staying up-to-date with the latest tech and research, always looking for ways to expand my knowledge. When I'm not engrossed in the world of technology, I enjoy exploring new worlds through books and podcasts - whether it's a captivating mystery or a thought-provoking discussion, I'm always up for trying something new and exciting! I believe that the Erasmus+ program presents an incredible opportunity to connect with people from all over the globe and experience different cultures. I am thrilled to be a part of this project!

Welcome to our avatar maker! This free online tool can help you create an avatar that looks just like you. There is no software to download and you can make as many avatars as you wish.

Why would you need a free avatar maker?

Lots of people don't like social media. They feel that it isn't private enough, too fake, or just don't think it's fun to use. However, those same people might still want to have a social media account if only to connect with friends and family.

Having an avatar that looks like you but isn't really you might be ideal for people in this situation. It would allow them to have a social media presence but not have their default photo be an actual photo of themselves.

This avatar could be used across the entire web, not just on social media. You could use it for comments on blog posts, your default photo on web forums like Reddit, or even as the main picture for your Google account.

Free Avatar Maker: How does it work?

This tool is very easy to use and can be a lot of fun. First, you'll need to select your gender. If you don't feel you fall into a traditional male/female identity, pick the gender that you feel most closely aligns with yours. The only difference between the two systems is the options you'll have to customize your avatar.

Once you select your gender, you'll see the default avatar. At the top of the page, you'll see four choices for the overall look of the avatar. The default is more realistic, while the second is more polygonal. The third is an anime-style avatar and the fourth looks like a black-and-white comic strip.

With your style selected, it's time to customize your avatar so it looks just like you. There are a wide variety of options including facial shape, eye size and shape, eye color, hair style and color, glasses, and even clothing and background. Play around with all the tools so your avatar looks like you - or not like you! Feel free to be as creative as you like. The RANDOM button is a fun place to start if you're not looking for an avatar that closely aligns with your own look.

While you're making customization choices, each feature will have various modifiers that appear underneath the avatar itself. With these controls, you can make aspects larger or smaller, move them around, or change the color.

If you make a mistake with this avatar maker, use the UNDO and REDO buttons to travel back or forward in time. If you feel like you've made too many mistakes, the RESET button will bring you back to the beginning. Don't worry: if you accidentally hit the RESET button, just hit the UNDO button to go back to where you left off.

How to download your avatar?

Once you are happy with how your avatar looks, you can hit the DOWNLOAD button. You have three choices for your download:

1. PNG (200px) - A small pixel-based image file with transparency support

2. PNG (400px) - A larger pixel-based image file with transparency support

3. SVG - A vector-based image that can be resized as large as needed

Do note that you'll need an image editor that supports vector files to work with the SVG image, such as Adobe Illustrator.

If you have fun with this free avatar maker, hit the SHARE button and let your friends know about it! You can share on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Pinterest, WhatsApp, and Telegram.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Create your own free avatar in 4 different styles. You can save it as a scalable SVG image or in the more common PNG format.

Hi everyone, my name is Marleen. I love everything related to music. I myself, have been involved in music since I was 5 years old, taking part in different choirs and also learning to play the piano and the guitar. I am currently taking singing lessons and am an active member of a vocal ensemble with whom we perform and participate in various competitions. I also love to write poems, thanks to which I can convey thoughts and express my feelings. I am a very curious person and I am constantly searching for ways to feed my curiousity and develop myself in different fields. I think that taking part in the Erasmus+ project is a really great opportunity to gain new experiences and knowledge.
I am very excited to be a part of this study migration project.

My name is Tiit and I am an English teacher in Põlva Gymnasium. I have been teaching English to people from different ages for almost 15 years now. I have always tried to push my students to speak about different, important topics in my lessons instead of focusin too much on grammar nuances. Integrating social studies, physics, history, geography, environmental studies etc. into Engilsh lessons makes perfect sense in my opinion, as English should not be WHAT you study but a tool that people use TO study. Therefore I am happy to see and learn how Turkish teachers integrate and intertwine different subjects in their lessons.
Also, I am looking forward to escaping the knee-deep snow of Estonia for a week and indulging in baclava and Turkish delights in spring weather.

About our ETwinning Project "Let's meet, learn and collaborate"

# data[].attributes.body
This is a co-collaboration of an existing Erasmus+ project AEKL (Akadeemiline Edukus läbi Koostöö ja Lõimingu" / Academic Achievement through Collaboration and Integrated Learning). This is a job-shadowing project for teachers and a short group mobility project for students in the frames of which students and teachers from Põlva Gümnaasium have a chance to get acquainted with school systems of different European countries with the focus on collaborative learning. The eTwinning project enables us to do our preparatory work (introduction of the participants (live)/online before and feedback as well as evaluation after every mobility. We shall use interactive methods as well as short video conferences etc. for better communication and collaboration.

Hiya!

I am a 12th grader in Põlva Gymnasium. As my mother is a maths teacher, I just so happen to be good at it. This is the first time I'm going on a trip for school, which sounded weird for me a couple of years ago. Põlva Gymnasium has given me many opportunities to make a better person out of myself. After becoming a student in Põlva Gymnasium I became a new human, I used to be a metal man, I didn't care much about anything, now I am trying to take part in everything. This project is also a huge part of me trying new things.

I love sports, all kinds of them, I've played football for a couple of years, when I was young, but I found a ballgame much better than football, it's called handball, I've been playing it for 10 years now and honestly, I can't live without it.

I am very much looking forward to meeting the students, that are welcoming us.

Martin
