Vokis can be a fun and engaging digitial learning tool for learners of all ages. It is so simple to use for all age groups. Younger learners may require more supervision and assistance in constructing their own voki and may need to utilise the speech to text option. Older learners can type in their text and opt to record it also. Here is my first attempt at a voki:

Digital learning tool 4 - mind maps
Mind maps and/or graphic organisers are an extremely effective tool for organising learners' thoughts and ideas. The construction of mindmaps and graphic organisers helps learners to make sense of their thoughts and how to structure them effectively. Learners will develop clarity of the task by completing their own plan. As noted by Winch et al. (2006, p. 352), “very few writers can just sit down and begin to write fluently and lucidly on a topic.” An example is as follows:
