Voki is a great learning tool to
practice speaking, one of the most attractive issue of it is that you have to
create a cartoon character and it can be applied for an entire school. You can
try a free trial for the class and also you have a 15 days trial which you can use
it as teacher, class or both. It can be useful for student-centered activities.
This learning tool can help students
is several areas as ELA (English language arts) with speaking and listening
skills, main idea and supporting ideas, prediction, vocabulary and writing
skills; Math with computation, reasoning, problem solving, critical thinking
and modeling; Science withscientific method, classifying, gather and organize
data and crosscutting concepts; Social Studies with gather, interpret and use
evidence comparison and economics; and Foreign Language with its four abilities
(reading, writing, speaking and listening). Every subject has different
activities in which student can use their imagination to create.
When your cartoon character is
created, you just need to start talking and the character will record and
reproduce what you say in order to create presentations. It is specially
designed for young learners who are attractive to this enjoyable tool.
The limitation that I identified is
that it is more attractive to young students and for them will be a great
experience. On the other, it will not be appealing for adults.
Hello Daniela,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I want to say that without reading the post, it inmediately called my attentions because of the design of it. I really love the images and the colour that you used. You explained very well the characteristics of this learning tool. To be honest, I have no idea of the existance of this tool until I read you entry, and I think it is really interesting that in an online tool EFL can cope the language with english language art. I like the way you displayed the information, it is very clear.
Regards.
