The important things I learned from the video are how the word lol has changed it's definition to be a symbol of empathy, how a new language has been born, and the differences between speaking and writing. But the most important thing I learned is that it is a feat for this new generation to create a new language.
I would encourage students to make funny or serious videos with different characters. One that would be cool is if they took and animal from an ecosystem and had that animal talk about what it's like in that environment. This could incorporate climate, food chain/web, ecosystem, invasive species, reproductive genetics, and tons more!
I got the biggest kick out of this! Your voice over reminded me of cross between Brak from Space Ghost and Strong Bad from Homestar Runner.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great a example of what I mean by "letting your personality shine"! Research shows that student are more motivated to engage in activities that allow them to express their identities! Your description of how you might use Blabberize to support learning in your future classroom is an excellent example of how students can express their identities with digital media while demonstrating their understanding of science content!
