Thanks for the comment, Connee … some excellent ideas for using these services.

Yes, I teach high school … English and Creative Writing students. Your comment reminds me: I should post a quick update.

Eric,

I am a commuter college student and particularly like the idea of iTexter or Loopnote. Recently we have had some bad weather and using Loopnote or iTexter would be useful for notifying students of cancelling class. Most college students have a cell phone. I check my campus email daily (I am a baby boomer) but I have an hour plus commute and things may change from the time I checked my email until class time. I will have to see if my instructor is familiar with this technology.

Also iTexter would be good for adult learners to remind each other about important deadlines or assignments that are due.

I’ve subscribed to your blog to see what your students think about this. It will be interested in seeing their responses. I assume you teach at the High School level.

Great idea. We are using Moodle with our students. I just updated my Skype software to their latest Beta version. It has a new SMS feature, which is not free (ouch!). I noticed that LoopNote has some fine print about including ads in the near future. Please blog about how this works in your classroom. I have subscribed to your blog feed to keep up with what you guys learn.
