In today's Citizenship lesson with my new form class, we made a voki as Nodehill's contribution to Sharon Tonner's Voices of The World project. Why not sign up yourself on her One Voice Ning Network and take part too?

Thanks Joe for putting this on your site. VOTW has really taken off and looks like it is going to be really exciting. looking forward to putting everything together for the end of the month. The following months have simple tasks like singing national anthem, twinkle twinkle, jingle bells then some voicethread with pictures and audio on other themes. This seems the best way to give children an appreciation of all the different languages and dialects around the world without having to decode the language.

You're welcome Sharon. It's great to see these tools being used in such an interesting way to promote global citizenship and language awareness. Keep up the good work.

My class is all signed up for this too... looks like it will be really interesting.
We are doing our Voki task next week, I like your idea of putting the school sign/logo behind our character, might steal that for ours!
Thanks for sharing. My class is going to love hearing the accents!

I'm joining in too!
It's exciting - so exciting that I'm not sure how we'll decide who gets to feature as the Voice of the Voki - I teach the whole school so could potentially be war !!!
But it's another example of how we can easily join with others around the globe and share.
