Hello Voki Users!
I am practically bursting at the seams with excitement. Why? You ask.
Well, Voki.com has just released its newest product— drum roll please….
Voki Teach
Voki Teach is a Common Core aligned, ready-to-teach curriculum, designed by teachers for teachers!
Let’s face it, as a teacher you spend hours on the internet searching for content, followed by hours crafting your lesson plans and worksheets, followed by hours of wondering if your lessons are Common Core aligned. By the time you step in front of your students to teach, you are exhausted and drained.
We wanted to support teachers and provide students with the chance to engage with rigorous content in a positive, engaging, and meaningful way. And so, Voki Teach was born!
Why Students Will Love It
Voki Teach is an academic experience. This experience allows students to interact with characters similar to the ones they admire on TV, but with a slight scholastic twist. In the classroom, the characters act as educators, mentors, and experts, taking students on scientific, literary, and analytical adventures.
Why Teachers Will Love It
Engaging Common Core aligned content in ready -to-teach form is hard to come by. Voki Teach provides teachers with common core aligned lessons crafted by certified teachers. With Voki Teach, teachers will spend more time facilitating learning and less time preparing materials.
Here’s How We Did It
Our team of teachers, certified in Literacy, ESL, General Education, and Special Education, studied the Core Knowledge curriculum and molded lessons that they believed would benefit their own students. By infusing instructional best practices, they were able to generate lessons that maximize engagement and foster effective teaching.
Right now, we have two domains available for kindergarten through second grade. Our team of teachers is continuing to craft engaging lesson plans and presentations. Our goal is to provide teachers with a variety of themes and topics to choose from in grades K through 6th.
There’s even more good news! For a limited time, Voki Teach is available for free when you purchase Voki Presenter, or if you already have Voki Presenter! Now is certainly the time to sign up for presenter if you haven’t already!
