After seeing some people create Vokis, I decided to experiment with the tool myself. I created this voki as an example of what I might create to use with my ELL students.
I had a hard time recording my voice on the Voki itself, so I saved a file of a voice recording and then uploaded it onto the site.
For those of you who have created Vokis, did you run into the same problem? I'd love to know what I was doing wrong!
THis tool, while probably not age appropriate for my students, is perfect both for what you teach and the grade level of your students. This is a perfect and extremely useful application of this tool and I can see you making great use of it in the future.
Diana, I also used a Voki as one of my web 2.0 tools because I had never used it before. I personally used the text to speech feature and had to type some things phonetically for the avatar to pronounce it correctly. But I love that you used a cartoon character to get your student’s attentions and it is probably best for them to hear your voice and not an avatar especially if English is there second language.

ReplyDeleteI have not had issues with voice recording my voice other than not liking the way I sound.
