Voki

Ok, so i've finally made it on to the blog. It is encouraging seeing lots of different things happening in schools, you are all coming up with some great ideas!

Anyway, my input is Voki...This was first brought to my attention in User Friendly (Stella Kenny's ICT Magazine) before Christmas. I was training a few weeks back and we were playing with embedding google maps. Someone asked if we could embed Vokis, so we tried and it works pretty well.

What is a voki? It is a talking avatar/character that you can design and edit using undreds of different heads and features. You can then make your Voki speak. This is brilliant for young children as you could get your Voi to read instructions to the children. www.voki.com

It is a bit temperamental in school sometimes, but bear with it and you'll have great fun. I have written a guide. To find it go to Elocker-->LA Works With Studywiz-->Useful Files-->Documentation

You can embed this anywhere you have html - assignment, discussion, ebulletin, multimedia, test, class page...

Have fun!
