Voki

I created a Voki this week for an early morning reminder to the kids on putting their stuff away when they arrive at school. I will try to play it on the computer when they arrive next week. I used a dog for the character, as they are currently quite taken with a puppet of a puppy that they named Cocoa. I had tried recording my voice in the Voki, but the result was very choppy, so I used the text to speech feature. I don't like the voice, so next time I add a message, I will try a different voice or record my message again. If the children are interested in this I forsee some real possibilities in recording reminders for routines, creating pre-teaching for some children or reminding some children of the instructions to lessons, such as the math activity.
