This activity for teachers meets at least one of the ISTE NETS *T (2008)
Standard 2 - Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS*S.

Writing is an essential tool for any student's success inside and out of the classroom.This particular type of technology can be used as a very good digital tool that would promote student learning and creativity.  The Voki uses a person's recorded voice and matches it with the movement of the avatar's lips to create a unique artifact of student work. Kids will think this is cool while learning something new and exciting in school.

In my opinion, this really looks like a great tool for all types of teachers since it appears in a cartoon like form, it by design, seems to adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
