Kojo Nyame here: I am from Kingston Jamaica. It is a fascinating city with a rich history but you will have to go to the map to find me and find out about this great city (University, pirates of the Caribbean and much more awaits you). The adventure begins by clicking here on Kingston Jamaica. (you may have to click in the information and arrow up to see all that was written) Enjoy the trip!

Testing out Voki – voice enabled avatar March 22, 2009
Posted by princekoj in Being Digital.add a comment
I was sent a link by Fahad, one of our classmates, with Voki a website that allows the creation of an avatar that has voice that you can customize. Very interesting indeed. My WordPress blog does not allow me to embed this link to the avatar I created but I added it to the Blog we created in class so if you click [Avatar With Voice] to go to that blog to see it in action be sure to press the play button.
How can we use these things in teaching? The children can make their own avatar and add what ever text they want it to say, choosing the voice that say it, or they can add their own voice to the avatar. We can be creative and use these technologies for the classroom.
