3.- PROJECT 1: VOKIS FOR THE CLASSROOM

As you have seen there are so many Web 2.0 resources that we may get overwhelmed. 

Let's start by using one of them: Vokis. Why Vokis? I think it's motivating, easy to grasp both for students and teachers and can be applied to any subject.

Voki is a free service that allows you to create personalized speaking avatars and use them on your blog, profile, and in email messages.

We are going to learn to create one and to embed it in our blog.
