  VOKI




                   
Voki is a free service that lets you create a talking avatar to help students share their learning.
Voki gives you as a teacher the opportunity to engage students in any topic area through a simple to use and free resource available anytime and anywhere for almost any purpose. 





You can use Voki for:

  • Getting students to share their learning
  • Getting feedback from students
  • Getting students to add a more human feel to their blog or wiki
  • Foreign language speakers to express views and opinions easier
  • Engaging and hooking students into a subject or topic
  • Interacting with students on a global level (e.g. quad blogging)
  • Practising and listening to their presentations (e.g. pronunciation)
  • Much, much more …..



I think that Voki is very effective and fun idea to use in the classrooms especially for young learners. I use free mode of Voki but even free of it made me satisfied. Variety of characters and voices are enough to create different Vokis. If you want to see my Voki, you can click here.

PIXTON: everyone can make comics

                                                  PIXTON Pixton is a comic creation site (as well as Android and iOS app) where creators can both make and share their comic strips. It's simple to navigate. After teachers establish a classroom site, they receive codes to distribute to students. Students can join by entering the code or teachers can manually add students to their class page. After students create an avatar (in comic form, of course!), they follow the step-by-step comic creator to begin their graphic stories. Teachers can make a specific assignment, or let students create freely. Options include the number of panels and the layout of a page. Visual icons help students add artwork, backgrounds, and text bubbles to comics (students don't draw their own stuff here but pick from a bank of fun images). A handy link to video tu...

Pinterest is a social network that allows users to visually share, and discover new interests by posting (known as ‘pinning’ on  Pinterest) images or videos to their own or others’ boards (i.e. a collection of ‘pins,’ usually with a common theme) and browsing what other users have pinned. Using a visual orientation, the social network is very much focused on the concept of a person’s lifestyle, allowing you to share your tastes and interests with others and discovering those of likeminded people. The social network’s goal is to “connect everyone in the world through the ‘things’ they find interesting.” Users can either upload images from their computer or pin things they find on the web using the Pinterest bookmarklet. Here is my Pinterest Pin. I also used  Piktochart  to prepare my Pinterest Pin.

Seesaw  The Learning Journal provides opportunities for students -- and teachers -- to really think outside the box. Students can show their work and thought processes in real time by submitting a video of themselves working through a math problem, snapping a picture of a paragraph they wrote, recording themselves reading a poem, or uploading a file to demonstrate their learning. Encourage kids to submit a series of images along with notes that tell the story that connects them. Or let kids collaborate with each other using peer-to-peer feedback to offer suggestions on writing content, scientific hypotheses, or creative ideas. Teachers at all grade levels and across all content areas can use Seesaw to keep digital portfolios of student work, including commenting on student submissions. You can communicate with families easily and share student work with them, or push out assignments to students to individualize instruction. You can also choose work ...
