Voki and Mandy

My aunt blogs religiously. Nearly everyday she posts about her life, her family, her dreams, etc. I love to read her blog because it is just like talking directly to her. Recently I noticed that on her blog, she had put a Voki on several different occasions. A Voki is an animated avatar character. You can make them look as closely to yourself as possible. You then pick a voice and type something for your Voki to say. At first, it is a little creepy, but also fun. I thought that as a teacher, you could use this one your blog or on a class website to relate messages to students or recount the assignment for the day. Below is the Voki homepage and my aunt's blog, in case anyone is interested.
