I had time to actually be TAUGHT instead of doing the TEACHING today! I sat in on a session on Twitter, Facebook, and other Social Media for teachers!
That's when I learned about... remind101.
remind101 allows teachers to text students and families without sharing his/her personal phone number. I just signed up (FREE of course) and sent my first test text! You know you will LOVE this! Can't you see the texts:
"Don't forget tomorrow is picture day"
"Remember to bring a paper bag lunch tomorrow for our field trip!"
"Science test tomorrow!"
Rock on!
