PE4_Voki/Edmodo


I decided to use Voki.com in conjunction with Edmodo.com to do my Relevant & Innovative Learning Scenario (RILS) project. The content of the lesson will focus on cyberbullying and I will be using both emergent tools in the process to enhance comprehension of the topic and the overall learning experience. I've alway been a proponent of technology being a means to an end, therefore, the RILS plan will focus heavily on the content rather than the technology. At the end of this scenario, my goal is for students to fully understand the complexities and consequences of cyberbullying and to gain some experience in using these tools that can be used in other academic situations. As a result, I designed my plan to give students a relevant experience to learn about cyberbullying. Also, I decided to purchase Voki Classroom to help manage the student use of Voki and to present the assignement to the students. Lastly, all participating students signed up for their Edmodo accounts to prepare for the RILS and other future assignments.

I am now in the process of adding students to Voki Classroom to create the student accounts. They will be assigned a login and a password that I can customize to simplify the login process. The students will then be able to access their accounts anytime to customize their avatar and to complete their assignments.
