We finished up our Voki student reflection / self assessment avatars today. The kids LOVED them. They could have spent all day customizing their on-line characters. The students signed up for their own voki accounts. This was a new for them as well. They've never registered for a Web 2.0 tool before. Nor have they ever had to check their e-mail to authenticate an account. These were ALL new experiences for our students.
The registration process enabled us to talk about digital safety and the importance of keeping your personal information private. (The students all signed up with the same last name "Green".)
Check out out student reflection voki's here.
If you haven't tried Voki before try it out its great!
P.S. You can now embed Voki's in SMART Notebook Files. Just download the widget from the SMART Exchange Website. You'll have to join before you can download the content but its FREE so the price is right!
