Voki


Get a Voki now!



Voki's are an interactive tool which can be used to engage learners and limit the amount of direct teacher instruction (Edward-Groves, 2003). In my prac classroom we have a smartboard and I have observed that students engage with anything when it is projected onto the smartboard. Vokis could be used to:

- Introduce a new topic or theme for the unit
- Create problem based, inquiry learning situations
- Give real-life authentic meaning to a task
- Could be used to explore other countries (by changing the accent of the character)
- Assist students to make content knowledge (normally chalk and talk information) exciting and engaging.

Voki's are an easy and engaging tool which I will be sure to use in my current and future classroom/s.
