Our second project was responding to a question on a Voki. Since this was our first experience I just asked a simple question. Then the students clicked on comment and got a chance to make their own Voki avatar to answer the question. They had a choice to type their answer or record it. We will do this again in the future. It's a way for the children to work on oral fluency if they record their voice. They also discovered spelling errors when they typed their response because the words were mispronounced. I learned that many people can comment to a Voki but at this point I can only go back and edit the first 22 comments so now I'll be making a diffferent Voki for each class.
