Our students at Horsham West have learnt to make these vokis which you can find on our home page. Check Ms Harrington, Mr Weir and Ms Koenig’s to see just what a fabulous time the kids have had. When they made these Vokis student’s recorded their own voices as well as typing text. This was a painless way to enhance speaking and listening skills. We are also using Vokis to create a character for early Australian History. e.g Captain Cook. Another way that Vokis can be used is as a part of creating characters for fiction.

    Judy, my year 6’s insisted that I needed a voki and after their prompting and reading this post, I bit the bullet and created my own. It’s a very motivational tool for students to use isn’t it?

    Hi Marg, of course I had to go and check out your Voki! Isn’t it great that you can be whoever you want to be, and for students this can sometimes help them get over any inhibitions they may have and so, enhance their performance.
