Use ‘Voki’ to Teach
Today, I want to introduce a teaching game called 'Voki'. Teachers can create their roles and dub through this tool, which will attract students' attention, especially young learners.

1 - how to use Voki.
First, after registering and logging in to the account, click the "create" button on the home page and click the "learn more" button under the "Creator.’
The second step is to choose the role you want.‘ 'Voki' offers many roles to choose from celebrities to pets. At the same time, you can also choose the background, accessories and appearance of the task.
The third step is to input the content you want to say in the voice bar. You can choose the language you speak and different timbres at the bottom to dub the content. 
If you want to read the content yourself, You can also choose the "Earpiece" button and click the red button to dub by yourself. It will make your voice more vivid and exciting. Of course, you can also upload other audio, which is your choice!
Finally, remember to name your character. You can share it with your friends! You can share it through URLs or ins and other ways.
This is a dog Voki I made. The dog's words can help students learn imperative sentences.
2 - advantages of teachers using Voki
👼Voki is more suitable for teachers because some students cannot use electronic devices. At the same time, straightforward content may not keep students interested all the time.
👼 teachers can use it for teaching, especially for young learners. Using images like animals and other exciting images, we can avoid boring teaching and attract students' attention.
👼 For teenagers, Voki can be used as a teaching aid to change the image of teachers and make teaching more enjoyable. (it may also make students turn their attention to your image, haha)
3 - limitations.
👿Voki is more suitable for teaching young people. It won't be easy to maintain students' attention for a long time.
👿Voki can only be shared in the form of video. It will be more convenient if it can be developed to change the image of teachers and spread the voice of teachers at the same time. It especially helps the teaching of online courses.
Siyu, steps for creating a Voki are well-explained in your post and it would be useful for teachers to follow instructions. I considered the same that students in my contexts are mostly not allowed to use technologies either- it was interesting to know about yours! Another point that I do agree with your view is that Voki seems more suitable for young learners and their teachers :)
ReplyDeleteI am happy we have such agreement.😋
DeleteHi Siyu, is it your student who can not use the electronic device?
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice instruction text, very clear 😁
Hahahha. Yes, Chinses students in high school are not allowed to use phone.
DeleteHi, Siyu! Well-done! Your guidence on using Voki is clear and concise, very easy to learn :) I agree that it couldn't be more suitable to apply to online teaching. Plus, I think it can also combine with tasks in the classroom, to make it more immersive.
ReplyDeleteYes, I also consider to use it in the class. Maybe I can use it to teach young learners.
DeleteHi Siyu- cute dog :). This is a nice summary of Voki- and the images you have chosen are very helpful to give the reader a gist of the site.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your appreciation. I am glad that you enjoy reading my blog.
DeleteHi Siyu,
ReplyDeleteYou go with your audience step by step. I like your summary and the limitation part as well. Good job!
