Txt Blaster

On my simple communication note, this is a great site.  Txtblaster allows the user to streamline the connectivity of their group.

The tool wouldn't be complete if I didn't tell a story to go with it.  Sitting in the drive through at Arby's I had a double Ah Ha moment.  My phone vibrated with a new text message from non other than RedBox with a free code for a movie.  I pondered the idea if a Tuesday night was a good night for a movie, realized that any night was good for a free movie.  As I waited for my food there was a sticker on the drive in window with a number to text for free coupons.  That's when it hit me, why cant we use this tool like businesses are.(Bill Gates would be proud)

So what can Txtblaster due for schools?  Let's explore a few options.

Assignments/class updates This is a simple and easy way to keep kids updated on their assignments as well as parents.  Why use a planner and what a great way to get parents involved. It also keeps a record of the messages as well.


Counselors office.  I teach in a high school and there our continual announcements about scholarships and the likes out of the office.  What a great way to get the information to student, and most importantly, make sure they get it.

As I continue to explore cell phones I am amazed at the possibilities. Please dont be limited by my creativity...how can you use this in your school?
