Voki

Have you heard of Voki? Voki is an online tool that converts text-to-speech. Students create an avatar and then type what they want the avatar to say. My students created story problems, and then created an avatar and typed their story problem in Voki. Today, we went back to the computer lab and listen to each other's Vokis. On a recording sheet I made, they wrote the addtion or subtraction sentence needed to solve the story problem. They had so much fun creating the vokis and being able to listen to them today!
