Are you able to check with your technician as it could be as simple as it being blocked. If this is the case, you will need to ask for it to be unblocked. You may need to go to your ICT specialist or an administrator if your technician has been advised from above. Hi Luann,

Our webmaster has unblocked the voki site, but it still cannot be seen AT school. From home, it's great. My students have written scripts introducing their chosen novels from summer reading, so I was hoping to teach them how to create the avatars and answer questions about their readings and future assignments. I've written two emails to voki.com, but they are just returned to my inbox. Any suggestions? I opened my mouth to my students before I realized that it wasn't going to work at school.

This month's challenge involved creating a class voki and uploading it. My students LOVED listening to the other vokis and then listening to the Australian ones, it made them realise how strong our accent is! Hi Helen,
