Voki can be used to explain a repeated assignment that the teacher gives to separate classes. It would be easier for the teacher, and a fun listening/learning experience for the students.

Voki seems like a great way for teachers to teach their students lesson in a less boring way. It can also be a great way to assign teachers assignments because students will look forwards to listening to these humorous characters which tell their assignments for the night.

Voki.com can be used in my other classes for creating lessons about specific topics to teach the class. It is a creative and beneficial way to do a project. It can even be used as just one part of a project that goes along with other steps. It puts fun into education which is very god for many students who like to learn and have fun at the same time. Teachers should take up this method of using voki.

Voki can be used to explain things in a fun, easy way. If someone is shy, they can simply type what they want to say and it allows them to go without speaking. It is also a way to transform a boring class into something exciting if the teacher were to create one.

Voki can be used to make your projects really come to life. I think this because you can add voice give it a style and even pick its own voice.
