1. Create a Pinterest board with 10 pins that summarize them.
2. Create a 30 second podcast that introduces themselves. Then you can present them or play them on separate devices in class as an audio gallery.
3. Write a blog post in the classroom blog  introducing yourself to the rest of the classroom.
4. Create a quick comic strip to describe yourself or to recreate a recent funny moment in your life.
5. Create a word cloud to describe yourself and share with the rest of the class.
