Introduction: Voki is a program you can use to imbed a character in a blog or social media site. It is a way to customize, personalize, and humanize online communication.

How Voki works: On the website you will find the character builder. You customize everything from hair, skin, and eyes, to dialect and nationality. To save more than one character you have to create a profile, but you can create a character without signing up. I would use this character building application to leave messages and updates on a class blog. Students could create their own Voki characters to reply back to questions my character asks. I think this application adds a layer of interest on the part of the students and becomes a more personal experience for everyone.
