Using Voki as a roving reporter!

I love this idea from the TIC Llengües site - creating a Voki and placing them in front of a scene and using them as a face for your voice, commenting the scene.

Once the information has been researched and the text created and improved, the Vokis can be recorded and posted to the class Wiki, where they are visualised and voted on, with the winner being posted to the class blog or school website.

In the example from mvidal, the Voki character talks about their favourite place while standing in front of an image.

Basically you are asking for an audio file, but making the whole process more creative, fun and natural.

But the really collaborative part of this comes when the other students in the class watch the clips and fulfill a task, such as evaluation, note-taking, or voting for their favourite.

Perhaps pair work or group work could be done using the cartoon creator mentioned earlier?
