A friend of mine just introduced me to a great program called remind 101. This program allows a teacher to set up a text message list where by composing one text message or picture, you can send reminders to a whole class of students(minimum of 5 students per text message sent). What makes this program suitable for teachers is that the teachers and students don't know each others phone numbers as remind 101 is set up as a third party where the messages are sent through. Furthermore, teachers can send messages to students but students can not send messages to teachers.
An application of this program could be to send students reminders about tests or homework. My friend simply takes a picture of the homework written on the board and sends that picture to his class to ensure all students have a reminder about that nights homework.
Here is the website for the free service.
