The important things that I learned from the video are that there is a difference between speech and writing, texting is writing when you talk, and that there has always been an issue with writing and grammar through the years (not just now). But the most important thing I learned is that texting is not really hurting literacy today. In fact, texting is evidence that people can balance different things and that it is a linguistic miracle.
I would use blabberize in my classroom when students are needing to give examples of vocabulary words or different steps to take in a math problem. Students can make blabberize their own by creating different pictures to put on and using their own ideas on what to say. I think this is a creative way to introduce something new in the classroom. My math students could use this to make up their own scenario for the class to solve. This app allows students to become creative and to show their likes and what they have to say without recording themselves (which high school students don't like). Students could use this when they are running for office or trying to broadcast something for their school. They could use this outside of school as well. I love this because they can make it their own and have fun with it.
