Ms. Smith’s class had been learning about Ancient China and designed dragons. The students were encouraged to give details about their dragon in only one sentence. These sentences were typed in a Pages document.
We had the students design a Voki character to read their sentence. The students then copied and pasted their sentences into Voki and their character began speaking their sentence. The website is so incredibly easy to use and free to sign up.
Ms. Smith and I then displayed some of the Vokis for the students to see. The students who wrote a well crafted sentence with many details had a Voki that played longer than students who wrote a short sentence with no details. One student said “I have to write more next time so my guy talks longer.” This was the best part of the lesson, the connection that was made to their writing.
Check out one of their awesome creations.
This was just one of the many uses for Voki. What are some of the ways you can use Voki in your classroom?
