Welcome to the start of the 2013-2014 school year!
The animated message above was created with the free web tool Voki. Voki allows you to make customized video messages up to 60 seconds long for free. Want to learn how?
To get started, go to www.voki.com.
You will need to register for a free account. Once you have created your account and logged in, you will see this screen:
Select the create tab to make a new Voki.
There are many ways for you to customize your Voki. The first menu of buttons edits the character type and body, clothing, and accessories. The second menu controls the voice. You can record your own voice, upload a voice file, or use the generated voice. You can also change your Voki's background and the player frame around the Voki. The slider toolbar beneath the Voki edits the size of facial features and the color of eyes, lips, and hair.
Once you are happy with your Voki, click the publish icon and your creation will be saved.
You will be able to edit the size of your Voki and be given the HTML code to embed in your choice of websites. You can add your Voki to your school center page by copying the code in the box and then use the HTML editor option in the edit function of the school center page you wish to display your Voki. When the HTML editor box is open, simply paste the code and click save. Your Voki should now load on your school center page.
I hope you enjoy creating a Voki for your website and have a great start to the school year!
