It’s a known fact that phones can be a distraction in class…but teachers are finding that texts can be a helpful tool for students after school or when they are sent to parents. Text message reminders can be used for a multitude of ways to help learning. Here are just a few use cases below:

• Reminders to students and parents of when exams are happening
• Alerts on when assignments, essays, or other projects are due
• Bulk texts to remind parents of Parent Teacher Day or other important meetings
• Reminders to register for standardized testing by certain dates
• Messages to parents about forms that need to be filled out or upcoming field trips

These are just a few instances of how text messaging can help improve learning and build better communication between students, teachers, and parents. Traditionally phones and texting have a bad rap when it comes to schools, but with Email-to- SMS solutions, they can be leveraged for good.
