 * //Here are some URLs of classes that have used Voki widgets to introduce themselves at the beginning of collaborative projects.//**

ANZA Connection  Global Learning Project
 * Mrs. H (in New Zealand) and Mrs. M (in Australia) used a wiki to insert the introductions from their students for a collaborative project.
 * Students received lessons on how to make the Voki and what appropriate internet behavior was. For instance, they were instructed not providing identifying information, eg. no last names, among other important online safety tips.
 * Mrs. M (in Australia) and Mr. S (in USA) also used Voki for student introductions as they began a collaborative project.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">Students in both classes worked together to select questions to ask one another.
