Voki (www.voki.com) • Can be accessed at home and school. • Necessitates computer-pupil interaction = motivation • Pupils have ownership – a unique creation. • Facilitates the transition from teacher-centred, class-based learning. • Quieter pupils are heard. • Provides a “mask” – a distancing effect.
José Picardo I was very careful to introduce the idea of using Voki to my pupils so that they would be immediately engaged and enthused by the prospect of using it. I therefore decided to plan for serendipity and cheat slightly by making them think it was their idea to use Voki all along: I purposefully showed them a Voki during a lesson which had been recorded by my three year old son speaking in Spanish. I then waited until one of my pupils suggested that they could use Voki in their Spanish lesson, what a brilliant idea! From this moment on, I deliberately tried to become a facilitator or a collaborator:
Audacity • It’s FREE!! For schools and home. • Sound recorder AND editor. • Captures interest. • Professional results. • Real audience. • It’s intuitive to use.
