Voki for Education!

I have always been a big fan of Vokis, which are customizable speaking avatars.  The voki site has launched a new section, "voki for education." Educators can  view and share lesson plans that contain vokis on this site.  There is a teacher's corner in which educators share and discuss creative ways that they have incorporated vokis into their classrooms.  Voki are a great tool; they can be used for any subject, at any grade level and engage students in a creative way. For example, if you are teaching a lesson on American history, it would  be nice to incorporate a president voki.  It will grab students' attention and get a few laughs.  Last, but certainly not least, they are free!  Check out the Voki for Education Page and create your own.

As you can see they are a lot of fun to use ! : )
