Texting and Multi-modal Texts


After watching the video above, I summarized what I had learned. The most important things I learned from the video are what pragmatic particles are, that literacy has always had deficiencies, even before texting, and the uses of various literacy types. But the most important thing I learned is texting is an additional skill, not a replacement.

I am a high school math teacher and Blabberize would be a great outlet to use for short bursts of information, such as the steps to complete a given process. For example, if a student's topic was Square Root Equations, they could summarize the following steps into a Blabberize:

To solve an equation containing square roots, we must
  1. Get the radical by itself
  2. Square both sides of the equation
  3. Use inverse operations to solve the remaining equation


This example could be translated into many different processes in a high school math class.
