First Step

Welcome to the One Step Blog. Here I will share some of my experiences and resources I have found in the area of education technology. This is a segment of my field that I find especially exciting and filled with possibilities. The first resource I would like to share is www.voki.com. You will see the voki I made for this blog in the upper right corner. To listen to the voki press the arrow button. Notice how she follows your mouse! It is very easy to make a voki and the students enjoy listening to them. I have used vokis before to introduce a lesson, this really grabs the student's attention. The students at Silver Lake Middle School have created vokis that we have added to our moodle site. They have recorded themselves giving the daily homework - a new spin on our audio podcasts! Try it out - I think you will like it!
