I recently created a lesson using Voki.  I used this Voki to introduce an assignment for a reading lesson. We have been reading a novel together as a class. I have the students complete a sheet after each chapter to check their reading comprehension. For this chapter, the students worked with a partner to create a Voki that answered the question assigned to them. Each group was assigned one question. They created the Voki and had it state the answer to the reading comprehension question. Then the students presented their Voki to the class.  During the presentations, the other students took the answers to the questions they were not assigned down on the sheet. By the end of the Voki presentations the students had the answers to all questions on that chapter.  There were six Voki created by my students.  This was done in a special education setting.  The kids loved it and I was astonished by how well they completed the assignment.  If you'd like me to share their Voki let me know.  This was a great twist to a reading comprehension assignment that could be a little boring at times.  They were definitely engaged this time.
