New Voki

After having a look at a blog by Lisa http://lg87.worpress.com/ I decided to create a fun avatar that students can create and interact with. If you would like to experiment with VOKIs then here is the site:

These avatars are great to hook students into ICTs and can make learning fun. Making learning more enjoyable motivates students. There is little worse in the educational world than having to persist through a boring lesson. Using VOKIs as an engagement tool has the potential for students to engage with material in their own expressive way and collaborate with each other using a forum that is socially accpetable in their world.

As part of the Blog component for the GHG emissions unit I am designing, I will allow the students to interact using avatars they have created on the internet.
