Voki

VOKI
The following Voki was created together with a colleague of mine at the Friday Institute 1:1 Laptop conference in Raleigh, NC in July, 2009. By playing it, you will also learn a little about what we learned in this three day conference. But I'm mainly including it here to show you how Voki can be easily be used by facilitators as an educational tool and how I have used it myself.

So how does this relate to instruction? Although this was created as part of a professional development project, it has very practical uses in the classroom for any grade level. For example, students can create a one minute statement by a historical figure such as Abraham Lincoln as part of a social studies project. They can do a one minute introduction of themselves as part of an English class. Or students can design a Voki based on a character they are reading in a novel or short story. The possibilities are endless and the process is fun!

The Vokis below were created through [|www.voki.com]. Sinve this website limits users to one minute of audio, there are two Vokis to listen to below. Play the one on the left, followed by the one on the right. Enjoy!
