Possible prizes:

**How to use Voki in class**

- Have students work in groups of 4-5 members. They can create their Vokis either in class or at home.

- Ideally, ask them to type the words. Remember that the **character limit** is **600**.

- If you'd rather they recorded their voices, bear in mind that they can speak for as long as **1 minute.**

- Vokis should be embedded in the Project section of each wiki. This should be done by teachers, except for older teenage students. **Voki accounts have been created:** >

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">- Vokis can be used to develop oral fluency. **Marcela** is going to use Vokis to help her students gain confidence and fluency for the oral component of the **Cambridge examinations for Young Learners**. She's going to ask her students to record their voices.

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">- You may ask your students to create a Voki to practise structures and vocabulary, such as likes and dislikes, ability, routines, hobbies, family, etc.

<span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">- In class, altogether we create the classroom voki pet! the idea here is to have students speaking about themselves, using the structures learned so for example, you can use the voki to model an introduction of himself (name, age, likes/dislikes, favourite food, <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> animal, what he can/can't do) <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 1) sts look and listen to the model voki <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 2) practice with info about their own <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> 3) as hw: they can create their own voki and send it to the teacher via e-mail or attached it into the wiki's page so as to share with their partners. <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">T can use the same 'pet voki' to present future items
