Wow! This was a lot of fun. I seemed to have spent most of the time trying to decide on the Voki and the title for my blog. I went with the owl because of our school mascot. I chose "journeying" for two reasons: exploring all the tools will definitely be a journey for me! Also, I'm traveling with my husband this summer to his different work site locations. It's already been a very busy summer!
I thought this first Tools of Learning activity went rather smoothly. The only problem I ran into was activating the Voki account. The confirmation email from Voki was considered junk mail by our email system. Luckily, I remembered to check the AppRiver email message. The activation information for Voki was right there!
Students will definitely enjoy creating and designing their own blogs. Voki characters will also be fun for them to create. Blogs would be a great way for our students to share books that they have read and information that they have learned on various content subjects. I think, as teachers, once we get more comfortable with this process we will then see more ways to incorporate it into our classrooms.
