Voki Avatar


Get a Voki now!


Meet my new Voki, Roberta . . . She's wondering if blondes really do have more fun.
My experience:  it was fun playing around with it for a bit.  As far as how I could use it in my classes . . . it seems elementary to me however, freshman would enjoy creating an Avatar.  It could be used as a way to be more anonymous on the web - especially if it's gender neutral.  It could be used on student blogs; instead of having students upload their photo to their blog, they could use their Avatar.    It would also give students more practice recording their voice on a computer.

My First Web 2.0 class post

Grand Rapid's October Fest was great fun this past weekend.  If you love Civil War reenactments and craft shows you wouldn't be disappointed.
