Texting is very useful we currently use texting at times but not excessive it helps to set up a google phone account,if you do not want to use your personal number.
I agree. I think it's probably an under utilized technology. Texting should be able to reach a student when phone calls can't, in meetings, appointments, etc. Since it is becoming a key component in the way we communiate as a society, it really needs to be utilized more.
My college does use texting to get a hold of students. I personally love texting students! People are so glued to the phone however; many would rather text than talk. This has proven to be beneficial for me. I use Google Voice to text. This way a record is kept of the conversations and contact attempts.
