Hey Everyone,

I have been experimenting with Voki and have created my very own Avatar. This would be a great educational tool to use in schools, children would interact with digital technology more and stimulate their learning. The only downside to using this application is that when typing in speech there is a limited amount of text that can be typed. By increasing the allocation for where text can be inserted the avatars uses in schools could be limitless.

As students are digital natives rather than digital immigrants the need for online and digital interactive help and discussion is extremely important in keeping students engaged in their learning rather than becoming enraged towards their learning. Not only would this type of learning engage students in the classroom it would also be useful at home for homework useage. Students could then be encouraged and positive towards completing homework rather than viewing homework as boring and uninteresting. Kate Mate.
