Voki in the Classroom

I'm always in search of ways to successfully integrate technology into the curriculum. I work closely with one of my dear friends, Cara Whitehead, (see her awesome blog) to plan and implement different tech tools into our 4th grade classrooms. Recently, we struck gold on www.voki.com. 

To go with a story about a girl who plays basketball, we had students research a famous athlete of their choice, blog about it, then create a Voki about that person. Check out some of the results:

Evan's Blog on AJ McCarron

Savannah's Blog on Lisa Leslie

This was not only an easy, high-interest activity, but also a fabulous way to incorporate literacy, research, and computer skills.
