World History
Today I found an article on the Washington Post that goes with along with what some of my students are doing for homework. So, today I sent them the link to the article and was able to do it because all of my students voluntarily sign up for Remind.com because they like the reminder. You can send a simple text and even add an attachment and, if you want to, put it on Twitter as well. Over the years I have used it I have become convinced that kids, more than not, don't do their homework because of poor planning or organization and Remind has helped immensely on this. Above is a video explaining how to use it. Of course the service is free and parents can sign up for it as well. Finally it is also only a one way text.
