A voice for the non-talkers

As part of standard 4, language and learning for ECIS ITC, I have been brainstorming ways to give my students choice in how they are formatively assessed.  Today we introduced our 6th graders to Voki.  They wrote diamante poems about their holidays (great exercise in its own right for language learners) and then typed them into Voki.

One comment from a weak English speakers, "did you hear that? I speaked without speak."

Another student, a native English speaker, asked me to email her teachers so they know about Voki and let them choose it as a way of doing assignments.

Here is my Voki based on the lesson plan I adapted from the Voki Classroom site.

   
What other ways could Voki be used to empower students of all different learning levels?
