Voki



** Voki! **



WHAT IS VOKI? Voki enables users to express themselves on the web in their own voice using a talking character. You can customize your Voki to look like you or take on the identity of lots of other types of characters… animals, monsters, anime etc. Your Voki can speak with your own voice which is added via microphone, upload, or phone. Voki lives on your blog, social network profile and will soon be integrated in various instant messaging platforms. You will also be able to download it to most video supported phones.

WHAT VOKI IS USED FOR? There are endless ways to use Voki in the classroom. Voki can be used for any subject at every level. Some teachers use it to greet students in the morning, some use it to record students reciting poems – the list is endless. Voki can be used as far as your imagination will take it. For ideas on how educators around the world are using Voki, visit the Voki Lesson Plan Database and the Teachers’ Corner.

WHAT WE EXPERIENCED? When Corina and I made a Voki, we had lots of fun. We combined our names to make hers. We also noticed that we could record different voices to make “Cortany’s” voice. All we had to do to make her talk was type in a box. The web tool didn’t have any glitches when making her. My Favorite part was being able to make her, being able to give her a personality.
