  2. What this presentation will cover … Web 2.0 tools for the languages classroom Speaking tools: Voki Audacity Jing Bubblejoy/Eyejot video greetings

  3. Voki: http://www.voki.com • Voki enables users to create an avatar - a computer user's representation of himself/herself – that is great for practising speaking skills. • The character & background of the avatar are customisable. • Students can be more prepared to talk through an avatar than in front of a live audience. • Embed the finished avatar online in a wiki or Moodle site. • Click on the link below for a step by step guide to creating an avatar with Voki:http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/activities/creating-vokis-%E2%80%93-online-animated-characters-speak

  4. Creating a sound file • If you want to pre-record a voice over that will form the basis of a speaking tool such as Voki, you will also need software such as Audacity ( Windows or Mac) or Garageband (Mac). • If you need additional support with this program, go to the Audacity web site for the user manual.

  5. Jing: http://www.jingproject.com/ For example: http://www.screencast.com/users/kristynpaul/folders/Default/media/92b8a3bf-0889-40e7-b33a-96ffd6c175f7

  6. Bubblejoy/Eyejot video greetings • Both of these programs require a webcam and microphone to work. • They provide free accounts to registered members. • Students can record one-minute video messages that they can then email to someone or embed in a wiki or Moodle. • Students can send one another messages to practise speaking and listening.
