Unfortunately, I have some bad news about using the Voki.com website. As my student already know, I had to get the district to approve the use of Vokis for my blog (New technology…)After describing the educational plans I had for using them, they allowed the site access through our filter system on the computers.
A Voki can be created without making an account on the site. Without an account, you can not gain access to other parts of the Voki.com site. My plan was for NO accounts to be set up. Therefor, no information would be saved on their site about us. We would have access to what we needed, making a Voki, and that’s all.
In order to create an account you need to be 13 or older. Because of this stipulation (even though we were not creating accounts, or going elsewhere on the site), the district has decided that I should not be using the site with my students.
We did not start any projects yet. We spoke about them and were excited about them, but no one went onto the site yet.
Sorry for getting you all excited about the president project. We’ll find another thing to do on the blog besides making a Voki.
Its ok I was really excited but at least the school is taking the job serousily.

Are you still keeping the Volki that you made up so we can go on from home?

Yes. I will still use them to speak with you all on the blog. You just can not create them on your own yet.
