Voki Experimentation+Edward the Emu, Video Experimentation: Group 2 ICT Technologies

One word to summarise the effort to get a voki onto my personal blogger page; Exhausting. After many attempts and considering the concept of getting the voki onto the page was a complete and utter failure, I found success within this difficult mission. Voki is at a beginner level and quite easy to use. By beginning the voki experience, you can either explore through the range of different voki's or sign up to an account which allows the ability to save more than one Voki at a time.

With the Voki's, you can change the facial structure, hair, clothing, voice, text and background to suit the individual's interest or the impression that you would like the certain voki to have for a personal matter or for a learning experience.

Hello newly found resource that can be used for future educating purposes!

Onto a formal note, Voki could be used in these possible situations:

• Technological approach to teacher discussing with fellow learner instead of the traditional technique of "teacher standing out the front instructing the students"
• Possible ideas for distance education learning managers organising information internet based.
• Groupwork presentations
• Multimedia assignments within a primary or secondary sector.

Example of my
Voki Experience.

Just a little more experimentation within our week 4 lesson of Managing E-Learning. I must admit, I am learning exciting new resources every week within the lectures.

The following use of movie making can be used for the following purposes:
-Display of information using ICT multimedia skills
-Assessment tasks developed for learners (create a movie regarding a certain topic)
-Rather than reading to the class, record the story book and display to learners.
-As a resourceful tool to display information to class, resulting the lesson to be less time consuming by possibly having an activity sheet corroborating with the short film.

There are no limitations to making a video and easily accessible to use. Video's can be taken from a phone, camera, laptop (webcam) etc and can be simply added to the internet via phone, laptop or computer.

Making a short film creates a higher order thinking complexity for the simple reason of allowing students to create their own film and use their own imagination.
