Voki

   What is Voki?
Voki is a FREE service that lets you:
  • Create customized avatars.

  • Add voice to your Voki avatars.
  • Post your Voki to any blog, website,  or profile.




  • Take advantage of Voki's learning resources. 




Watch the "Voki" below, make an account and create one for yourself! I enjoyed creating an avatar for others to see. You can choose from the style and color of hair to the outfit and jewelry you want your avatar to wear! So, how can I use this in my classroom you may ask?

Classroom:
  • Motivate students to participate
    • Students will become intrigued and excited to use this technology tool! They can design and become creative when creating their own speaking avatars. 
  • Improve message comprehension
    • Various options to have your avatar convey a message: Microphone, type a message, phone call and more! Students can record a message and share it with the rest of their classmates!
  • Introduce technology in a fun way
    • Super easy and fun! Giving students an opportunity to play around with Voki will allow them to see the many features it offers
  • Utilize Voki as an effective language tool
