Voki Poetry Fun

My students have been publishing their poetry using www.voki.com. They have really enjoyed creating an avatar to present their work. Next we will begin listening and responding to each other poems on our classroom blog. Check our our work here: http://rmtwentyone.blogspot.com/

Preparing to use technology...

I am off to a slow start this school year with using technology in my classroom. So far the only thing I've done is shown a Discover Streaming video to my students. But I am getting excited and feeling like I am now ready to go for it! My next step will be to use voki during writing. We're learning about statements, questions, commands and exclamations. I will have the students write one of each and then compile them with a voki. Anyone have another idea of how to use vokis with Writing? Thank you Global Learners for inspiring me to get things rolling!
