Voki's are pretty cool. It was hard for me at first to think of some way they could be used in the classroom. But fortunately after collaborating with fellow educators I thought of a few ideas that we have actually used in the classroom. In our class we had all the children that could, make a jing character in their free time and they are going to use them in several different ways. One of the ways they are going to use them are to read the stories they have written to the class. Me and the other teacher said that we would help them type their story into jing and they could play if for the class. We also discussed utilizing it for a classroom play.
Being able to have the power and knowledge of utilizing software like JING in the classroom is amazing! This can be used in the classroom in multiple ways. First it can be used to show learners directions visually. It can also be used for special learners if they are going to require the educator to repeat themselves. Finally, another great idea to use screen capturing software in the classroom would be to provide directions for substitute teachers.
