Have you heard of voki?

I heard about it at Teachmeet, the unconference after the e live Conference in Edinburgh and have played about with it, creating characters to give the children some amusement and occasionally instruction and tried to place a wee demonstration here but couldn’t embed it at all. It likes blogger though, so I left a demonstration on my old blog . ( Tongue firmly in the cheek) Like almost everything else there are educational possibilities. Thus far I can at least see how attention grabbing it has been for the children, and no harm has befallen them. The sound recording is slightly bitty, but there is potential for the children to do their own writing, characterisation and soundtracks. Best of all the firewall lets it happen!
