Lily's Voki - Proof a 6 year old can do it! - Digital Tool #4

Just clowning around :D

I had to include this in my blog! Lily my 6 year old saw me playing with Voki one night and asked if she could have a go. So I thought it would be a perfect opportunity for me to see how easy  or hard it was for a younger age student to use something like Voki and create their own Avatar.

Lily was quite competent with the design process. Even to the point where I tried to do something for her at one point and she was quite determined and insistent that she do it herself. This just goes to prove that anyone at primary school when given the opportunity to use something like Voki can excel. They just need to be given the opportunity to try! Lily chose a clown because they are currently making up a circus show in her Grade 1 class.
