VOKI  

   Voki is a free service that lets you create a talking avatar to help students share their learning. Voki avatars could be historical figures, animals, cartoons, etc. With using these avatars you speak your avatar whether with your own voice or not. It is very useful for shy students because they may do not want to use their own voices. In this way, teachers can involve these students in classroom activities. They become a part of a lesson.

Voki gives you as a teacher the opportunity to engage students in any topic area through a simple to use and free resources available anytime and anywhere for almost any purpose. There ar many benefits of Voki for education;

·         

      *Getting students to share their learning
