Earlier in November, Mrs. Goss, Mrs. Shelton, Ms. Jocab, Mrs. Pinkston, took a trip to see the Testing Guru, Margaret Kilgo of Kilgo Consulting, Inc. The ladies enjoyed themselves so much that it behooved them to share their "Aha!" moments with the staff in their own unique manner.
Blabberize is a tool that can be easily implemented in your classroom instruction. This Web2.0 tool is simple to use and loads of fun to work with. In the beginning of the school year, Mrs. Whittington's class had a chance to use Blabberize to talk about what a scientist looks like. Smittie's K.I.D.S. used blabberize to conduct a podcast interview with European explorers where students worked in pairs and researched a specific explorer. From the research, each group developed a minimum of 7 questions that used to interview the explorer. One student was the interviewer, while the other student took an image of the European Explorer and blabberized the answer to each question.
Students were completed engaged in both classes as they learned invaluable information mostly on their own and had the opportunity to have an audience to share their knowledge with. That's what it's all about.
How can you use Blabberize in your classroom? Leave a comment.
