Texting and Multi-Modal Texts

Here is my Blabberize I made from the information I learned from the TedTalk.

The important things I learned from this video are 
 

1. New words in texting such as "slash" to change the subject 

2. Texting allows us to write like we speak 

3. Texting is known as fingered speech 

But most important is 

4. Texting is an entirely new language among today's young people 

   


A way to use Blabberize in teaching context is to give instructions to students. Examples include what the homework is, what's on the agenda for the day, etc... It keeps it funny and the students will (hopefully) be paying attention to something like this!
