Voki is a free web 2.0 tool that allows you to create speaking avatars that can be published to a website, blog, social network, or email.
Vokis have been used in foreign language classes, English & reading classes, and exceptional education classes. It encourages participation in a non-threatening way- plus it's really fun!
You can record your voice by phone or computer microphone. If you are really in a hurry you can just type your message and select from a variety of female or male voices.
...Trying to figure out a way to use Voki on Blackboard for announcements...more info to come.
If you are interested in using Voki and would like a tutorial, click here for a handout.
Already use Voki in your classroom? Please share with us how you use it in your classroom.
