Your New Assistant Voki!

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Today, I want to introduce you your new assistant in teaching. I’m talking about Voki. Voki is an application letting you create different avatars and make them speak. Think about it. How would your students react that kind of a thing? I think they would really love it. I have been thinking about using Voki in classroom or outside of the classroom. I should admit that I still have some unsolved thoughts on my mind but I’m sure that I’m going to find ways of using it in my classroom. For now, I have got the idea that we can create an avatar that is special to every student in your class and this avatar could inform them about their assignments. Also, we can add some tips and clues, if some tricky parts exits in the given assignment. I’m sure that your students would love the avatars that are specifically made for them and would be motivated much more.

I have created an example Voki in order to show you how it works. You watch it down below and click here to reach Voki.


See you on the next one!

Duolingo & Memrise | Have Fun!

Hi everyone! I know that vocabulary learning is a big thing most of the people because with traditional techniques it’s so boring. However, technology brings its benefits with itself and gives us different opportunities to learn languages. Today, want to talk about two different application I found very useful. Firstly, I’m gonna talk about Duolingo. It’s an application within which you can find different languages to learn. If you ask why Duolingo, I would say that it’s not boring and old school. Today, we don’t like anything that brings the need of vomiting, also anything that is boring won’t help you to learn something because your motivation will be much lower each day. In a nutshell, please try it and inform me on your thoughts. Click Here to reach Duolingo. Secondly, Memrise would be a good choice to work on. Memrise simply the same thing with Duolingo but there is one thing that made my mind blown. That thing is the camera detection system of Memrise. You can hold your p...
