Uses for Voki in a classroom:

 * Introducing a new story, especially since there is a variety of characters to choose from.
 * Students could create their own Voki to represent different points of view from a story.
 * My example (above) can be used for teaching poems. Since it is close to Christmas, I made my Voki a snowman to help set the mood for the poems.
