VOKI

Voki is a free educational tool that allows users to create their very own talking character. Voki characters can be customized to look like historical figures, cartoons, animals and even yourself! Give your Voki a voice by recording with microphone or uploading an audio file. Voki characters can be emailed, shared on social networks and embedded on websites! See our Welcome Voki at the top of the right-hand column!


For teachers, these speaking avatars can add a more "human" element to the online class website or blog. It is especially useful for those who may not be all that great with video taping or vodcasting.
Teachers can use Voki avatar to introduce the course or topics. It can also be used to aid in instructing those who are more audio/visual learners. Besides, Voki is a very helpful way to get shy students involved, to get foreign language students to feel more comfortable talking, to help students proofread their papers and to share comments with students in other countries.
