 * In this lesson you will begin to personalise your new wiki.**
 * If you have been approved for a Plus account and have not yet modified the colour scheme, you may be able to do so during this lesson.**


 * Your first task is to create a talking avatar to introduce your digital portfolio.**
 * If you are under 13 years old, you will not need a Voki account for this. Instead, go to the** **Voki site and click on create.** **Be aware that any unfinished work will not be saved.**
 * If you are 13 or older, you have the option of creating an account at Voki, which will allow you to save your unfinished work.**


 * Next you will see a screen similar to the one below, with a default character in it. You can choose a different character and edit it by using the Customize Your Character button.**


 * Once you have found the look for your voki, click DONE. Notice that you can also use existing backgrounds as well as upload your own and choose player colours.**




 * Next you will need to record, or type in the message you have prepared.**


 * There are different ways to do this, but for this activity we will use one of the following.**
 * 1. Record it directly using the Voki website by clicking on the MICROPHONE option.**


 * 2 Type the message (or copy and paste your written introduction) into the text boxy by clicking on the TEXT option.**




 * (For a refresher on creating and saving a recording using GarageBand1, GarageBand 2 and/or Audacity please click here.)**


 * You can view your Voki by using the play button in the Voki player.**


 * Once you are finished creating your Voki message, you will need to click on publish.**





(command c on a Mac and control c on a Windows machine)
 * Click on the code and copy it.**


 * Go back to your Site's Home Page and click on Edit.**

Once in **Edit,** click on the **HTML option.**

It will look like this.



Next you will need to **paste** the code you copied (command c) at the end of the last line of **HTML text**.

It will look something like this.



If you have **embedded** Your voki correctly, your page will look like the one below. Click **Save**.
