There is a great service out there called “Remind 101” (although I believe they just renamed themselves to “Remind” recently) that I use with class. It allows me to send out “reminder texts” to anyone who signs up for it. I use this in class to send out reminders the night before homework is due or before we have a major test. It helps with that whole “getting distracted and forgetting thing” that occurs with teenagers (and most other humans).
To sign up for it, a cell phone is needed or at least some method of texting. I have had students in the past sign up using an ipod/ipad/tablet but it is hit or miss on reliability with those types of devices. Mobile phones are the best option if possible.
To sign up for my class, just text the number 81010 with the message “@brov” (no apostrophes needed in message). That “activates” the phone for my class and allows the user to get updates. I will be making use of this most weeks.
