PSF143 Invoke Creativity by Motivating Your Students With Voki
Presented by Ginny Winte & Megan C. Murtaugh

Session Description
Learn how to integrate Vokis into instruction that addresses elementary English Language Arts CCSS. A Voki is as avatar or computer animated person, animal, or creature that can be customized to represent a variety of characters. Vokis add a new dimension to student compositions making student writing come alive. Join us to learn how to create Vokis, and leave with practical suggestions for implementing Vokis in ELA instruction. Using Vokis provide an engaging way for educators to motivate student creativity and to assess student progress in writing, reading, speaking, and listening.
