Application in Class

Voki is a great classroom tool. If you keep a class blog, student blogs, a wiki, or have a different class site, you can welcome others with a little information about you or your class by having a Voki in your sidebar. 

There are so many amazing opportunities with Voki! For example, students can...

• Create avatars that are similar in looks or personalities and record a message that tells about themselves. 

• Practise writing, reading, listening and speaking.

• Record their own voices in order to practise their pronunciations.

• Exchange the avatars with e-pals and generate questions to ask their avatar e-pals.

The list is endless!

Here are a few fun ideas for how you can incorporate Voki speaking avatars in your classroom and lesson plans:
