ICT Teaching can be a comfort zone

It is simple, a teacher need not be a superwoman to be very good in teaching. But given the right solutions and technologies, she is able to deliver better.

Storyline, Voki and Online Voice Recorder make my preparation of instructional materials not just comfortable but worthwhile.

So a piece of advice, if you are a teacher, every time you encounter a very good application, be it web-based or mobile or even stand-alone and you enjoy using it, make it as an extension of your teaching. As Marshall McLuhan would say, the medium is the message. How you are able to skillfully utilize an ICT application to exhibit seamless teaching becomes the message of the whole learning experience.

Testing Voki

I am trying to look for a tool that can animate speaking. This the second application I found, Voki. I am still learning how to use it, DIY style, and how to transport it in the different LMS.

This is Minet Kha, my very own Voki character.

Voki allows creations of characters or avatars, adding persona to the characters and adding voice or audio in several ways.

The output can be an html format  that can be embedded in the personal website or can be in a url link like this example.
