Class Pager

Class Pager is a wonderful new site for texting in the classroom.  This site allows teachers to text parents or students on any mobile device.  Also, this can be good tool for a Q & A session or to give a quiz to get feedback on student assessment.  It's simple and easy to use and a great way to incorporate 21st Century Technology.

For other nice sites on texting in the classroom check out Celly and TXTNLRN.

Class Parrot

Class Parrot is a site I just found out about from the always resourceful Free Technology 4 Teachers. CP is a super cool new (beta) site designed for educators. This site allows teachers to text students to their mobile phones for free. Best of all, CP keeps everything private and allows parents to sign up to view a unique text code. This is a great way for teachers to keep students/parents up to do date on news, homework assignments, etc etc.

TXTNLRN

TXTNLRN is a very innovative site that is designed to teach and learn through text messages. Right now there are bunch of classes for writing, computers, etc. All enrollment is done via a text and TXTNLRN is also available spanish.

Some of the reasons to use TXTNLRN are (straight from their site):

• The course starts when you want
