iPhone App Review: Get Taxi

The challenge: I needed to get to Tower Bridge Millennium Pier by 5am this morning for a London at Dawn photo walk.  In order to do this, I would need to leave home at approximately 4am and there are no trains or buses leaving from my area at that time of the morning. I could drive but I am not the happiest driver at the best of times and I certainly do not function well without my beauty sleep

gText for Student and Teacher Communication...Text Alert Meets Edmodo

gText is a free resource developed specifically for teachers to communicate better with students and parents. While gText is just starting up, it has a lot of potential for being a helpful mass text alert system for teachers. gText allows you to create as many texting groups as you wish. In addition as a member of a group you can decide how many messages you are willing to receive per day or per month (this is helpful for students or parents who do not have unlimited plans, so they can control the number of text messages being sent to their phones).

All text messages are archived on the class page (and students or teachers can even comment on the text message communication!). The class pages acts and looks like Facebook. It also reminds me of Edmodo, the news feed of the text alerts and the ability to integrate classroom management options. You can also add pictures and files so that it allows for more than simple text communication. This is a feature I have not seen on any other text alert site. In addition the text alerts can be public or private (password protected).

KiKutext for Teachers to Communicate with Students and Parents

A new and free resource called KiKutext is a mass text messaging service for teachers to communicate better with students and their parents.

Furthermore, the service does not use shortcodes so it works with any phone service! Finally it has a wonderful feature called "status reports" where parents can get quick text message updates about their child (the teacher can choose from a pre-selected list or create their own). All correspondence is archived in the teacher's private account.
