Basically, voki allows you to create avatars (or virtual sock puppets like mine) and add voices via microphones or typing.
There's a Voki classroom tool that's new and I'm excited to explore it over winter break!
The process to create a voki is quite simple. First, you select the character you want from the dozen or so categories.
Second, you customize your character by adding bling, clothing, or in this case, deciding whether or not Abe Lincoln wants to rock some facial hair.
Next, you can play with the background or add additional avatars (players).
Last, you can give it a voice by calling in, typing, recording with a microphone or uploading an audio file.
I think it'd be great to use the "politics" category and upload recorded speeches. I can just see using the Abe Lincoln avatar I created for the Gettysburg address with my students!
