Welcome to Anne Bowman's Technology Presentation


. The topic I chose for my presentation is the use of voki.com in the classroom. Voki.com, jing.com and prezi.com are all still quite new to me, so I learned a lot while creating this presentation.

I was amazed at all of the information available in regards to voki.com. Whether doing a search engine search or a you tube search, you can find most anything you would like to know about voki.com. The thing that was most beneficial to me was finding a great deal of information and video clips about voki.com in Spanish. Remember that voki.com offers text to voice in over 25 languages which may be something you are in need of right now! The links I included on this wiki are the ones I found most useful to me at this time. If you know of others that should be shared, please do so when you reply on the discussion board.

In this clip I share some information about the differences between voki.com and Voki Classroom http://screencast.com/t/dVEk3Dqnd

This is the official website http://www.voki.com/products.php

ISTE Standards 1.c. customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources ( voki avatars can be used to give directions, instructions, or provide information, especially to address the auditory learners)
 * __voki.com and ISTE Standards __**

2.c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats ( voki is yet another example that can meet this communication standard)
