No Matter, There

I wonder if this will add communication value? This free version can record up to 60 seconds, and my posts are too long-winded for that! But, pegged onto a sidebar, it might be a way to attract comments…

Anyhow, here’s my first voice avatar. I’m putting her in the sidebar–if this works.

UPDATE:  It worked, and was fun, but I don’t think added much to the conversation.  One of my children found it annoying as he reads lips to confirm his auditory processing, and the lips weren’t really exactly my real-world expressions. I used the email feature and that was great fun.  For now, I will take the VOKI off the sidebar, but will keep it in mind as I am putting together a unit on creating online personae and the choices we make in doing so.
