Text messages do work!

Because I teach at risk adult learners, they tend to have challenges staying engaged.  Every week, I check the gradebook to see who has missing assignments. I reach out to the students via text to find out how they are doing. Once I get a response, I then talk about the missing assignments and opportunities to complete them.

Thanks,

Letitia

Letitia,

Do you allow the students who are late with assignments to complete them for full marks or is there a penalty for late submissions?  I think that reaching out to the students via text is a great idea and personalizes your concern. Great post, thanks, Janice

 

I totally agree about text messages.  I find that I ususally receive a response from a text, but I don't always get replies to emails or phone calls.  I send emails for documentation, but I always follow it with a text message.  Alison
