Thanks for sharing. Vokis are great for websites. Vokis remind me of Blabberize. I have also had fun building my wild self so I had some images to use in SMART Notebook.

Med, if you had not noticed, these forums are designed for smartboard users. The main software for teacher creating, presenting and interacting is Smart Notebook or NB for short. People tend to be interested in what can be added into Notebook files to create more interactive and engaging lessons. Hope that helps!
