Listen to the message relayed by my cartoon Voki below; then, read on to learn more about using Voki-lization to motivate and help students learn.

In addition to using Voki as a tool to motivate students to read their written material out loud and practice fluency, Voki could be used by speech teachers to help students practice enunciation and of course foreign language teachers could use Voki in a similar manner. Voki character could also be used to relay a political opinion or holiday message. Perhaps a Voki could give the directions for solving a math problem or explain a scientific theory. The possibilities for Voki integration are endless and in my opinion, ageless!

Cast your Voki as you select from a large variety of Voki characters that include both genders, animals, human, famous or not so famous. The selection of Voki characters is really diverse and can be personalized using different settings and backgrounds. Recording a voice to go with a Voki can be done using a cell phone or by connecting a microphone to your classroom computer. Completed Voki recordings can be posted online, sent via email, or uploaded to your cell phone. Set up an account for your students and yourself today and give your students a Voki/voice of their own!
