Voki

As I was working on my blackboard course for class, I was looking for something to "jazz up" my announcements pages. I remembered that some of my co-workers have avatars in their courses that speak to the students when they log into the class. I discovered this free site where you can very easily create animated avatars called Vokis to post anywhere on the web. It's incredibly easy to create, although I will warn you, it can be a little addicting trying out all the features and voices. There are so many options that you can customize your character. I wanted to share the one I created with everyone! You can either type things for them to say or actually speak and record your own voice.

Very Cool,

Great idea to add to the blackboard announcement section. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the information!

This was a fun website. I thought I would see how it worked and I spent 20 minutes creating a Voki.
