Ideas for the classroom:
- Students can use Voki to create a class introduction, recording a message and using an avatar that resembles themselves.
- Students connect with others, by exchanging these Voki recordings with other classmates, and with other students in other schools.
- Foreign language students can use Voki to speak “in character” for different role-play assignments.
- Students can orally share their “writing pieces.”
- Anyone can use it for a classroom “newscast.”
- Can be used as an item in a student electronic portfolio
- As an “authentic” foreign language experience, students are writing, reading, revising, and speaking to an audience.
- To aid resource students, teacher can record oral pronunciation of vocabulary words as a review-guide for upcoming assessments.
- Teachers can get attention by letting their VOKI give the instructions.
