Communication with students - Remind app

I use the app Remind. This is an app that can send alerts to the students via text message without actually giving out your phone numbers. You can also change the settings to either allow or not allow students to respond. This becomes very handy when I want to tell the students something that I may have forgotten to mention in class, or when you want to remind them of an upcoming test, quiz, etc.

Google Calendar for journal prompts

I also created a Google Calendar to track all of my journal prompts for various classes. This way I could create and print a blank journal template for all classes and use my calendar to share the prompt. I always set my prompts for the entire semester so that I have quality prompts, versus 'on the fly' prompts. I can still edit, re-organize, or change prompts rather than having students scribbling out incorrect prompts in their journal.

Assignment organization in Google Calendar

Instead of using Moodle, I use Google Calendar to organize my assignments. I automatically shared the calendar with the school email of each student. I also had them come up and put in their personal email address. Easy access and no excuses when they miss a day! Making the switch to Google Calendar has been a GREAT change!
