After watching the TED Talk video above, about the relationship between texting and language, there are some important things I've learned. The important things I learned from the video are; people talk in word packets of only 7 to 10 words, educators have been worried about the written language for some time, and what pragmatic particles are and why they are used. But, the most important thing I learned is texting is not the decline of language, in fact it is considered a "new language."
Blabberize could be used to support learning in my classroom by allowing the students to create their own Blabberize video about the subject we are studying. They could also use this app to practice spelling words, sight words, or vocabulary words. Elementary school children will think this is funny and will have fun making the pictures talk.
