Animations and Simulations - Team skills exercise for Year 3

Why would I as the learning manager give instructions ever again!!! I think Voki is a great tool for engaging students while promoting an independent learning environment. I can set my Year 3 class up with the link and they can follow the instructions to complete activities at their own pace. What a great tool for students who want to come back and clarify instructions. Take a look at this one I created for my class:

  2. Thanks for the website Emma. I took a look and got some great ideas - even used some in my synopsis. The opportunities for Vokis in the classroom are only capped by your imagination. We only have two computers in my grade three classroom but I think using Vokis as a way to give instruction would be great.
