Voki.com - give students a voice

I am so excited about this new resource I learned about today.  It is www.voki.com
It allows students to create a speaking avatar.  This is a great way to give your ELL students a voice and build their confidence.  They will be so engaged, I know I was.  The students can create what they want it look like and they can make it speak by using four different methods:
- speaking into the microphone
- calling in and speaking through their phones
- typing in the dialog
- uploading an audio file

Types of assignments:
presentations of speeches, poems, songs, create a character from a book, create a character from history
