I tried to post my voki to this blog, but that would not work either. ARG!!!!!!!!! Technology just do what I want when I want it! I even played with my settings to allow anyone to post. No such luck still...
Here is my URL for my voki, http://www.voki.com/pickup.php?scid=5545329&height=267&width=200

After creating a rubric
online, I also created a voki at voki.com. This is an avatar that
can be placed into another website to speak information to the viewer. I choose
the free version from the matrix. However, there is an educational version available,
but that costs money monthly. I used the computer voice so the class can hear
that version since you already know what my voice sounds like.
At this point I was
not successful at getting my voki into my rubric website. I have emailed asking
for help, so hopefully by the time we meet again I can have the two merged onto
the same page since that was the point of the second tool. There is also a way
to get the typed words seen with your avatar but since I could not get it on
the page I was not able to set that part up either.
On the Voki
education website there are some great examples of how to use it in the
classroom and it meets a lot of the tech standards. I like that the talking
cannot be over a minute on the free version and 90 seconds on the paid version.
Hopefully we can see it altogether by next Saturday.
The OEST standards that
this could help meet are 1a 1b 1c and 2a 2b 2d
Since we created quizzes
in class I decided to create a rubric on the rubistar.4teachers.com. I already use a rule sheet for creating posters in class when
we have a read a decodable. The rubric gives me chance to be more concise in
what I would like the kids to create. The matrix helped me choose this tool because
it was free and a tech level of basic.
Right now the
students like being able to check off what they have done from the rule sheet
and Rubistar has a print option. However, with time I think I could get them to
use the one rubric I create, projected on the screen. This would help with
Going Green and using less paper. A step beyond that would be to have them
create posters online at Gloster.com and then the rules would be paperless as
well as the poster they present. The poster online would also support more
Oregon Tech Standards.
