Voices of the World is a global project that unites children’s voices from around the world. Each month a challenge that combines the use of voice and ICT is set by Mrs Toner in Scotland. They are all on holiday at the moment so new challenges have stopped for now.
Each challenge is designed to overcome language barriers so that children can develop an appreciation of different languages, accents and dialects.
These challenges are particularly suitable for junior children.
Previous challenges, which provide a good spring-board for our own ideas, have included:
- Create an animated character using voki and record the following text:“ Hello we are the (school) from (location) and you are listening to Voices of the World.”
- Create an Animoto with images to represent your country and audio of children singing your national anthem or local song. Yah !!! – It was great to see NZ represented in this one by Rachel Boyd and her class at Nelson Central School
- Use the comment tool on voice thread to say each of the words in the main voice thread in your own language.
- Create a photo-story representing numbers 1 – 10 in your own language
