My Blabberize About Texting

 The important things I learned from the video are texting is not just bad writing, there is value in the language of texting, and young people have expanded their skills because of texting.  But the most important thing I learned is texting is an intellectual and linguistic advancement.

Using Blabberize

I think there would be multiple uses for Blabberize in a middle school English class.  I could have students write a summary of an article, poem, or short story theme and create a Blabberize to show to the class.  I could also have the students write their own short poems or six-word memoirs and create a Blabberize for them.  They could use them with vocabulary words by choosing an image that is somehow related to the word, then have the image define the word and use it in a sentence.  This could be a way for students to review vocabulary by watching each other's Blabberizes.  I could probably think of many ways for them to use the website.
