I am starting consulting work with TES which has a lot of great free online services for teachers which I will log about later. But for now we just set up our first meeting using Doodle. Have you ever tried to set up a meeting and you spend a lot of time emailing back and forth. Well Doodle is your free meeting time savior. You simply create an online e-sheet, share it with your friends and they check off the dates and time they are available for a meeting. So in a matter of minutes you can set up your next meeting. Best of all is that you don't even need to set up an account to use it. Here is an actual example that you can click on to see how it works.
When I want to quickly contact my online students, I use Remind.com . It allows you to send a text without knowing their phone numbers. Additionally you can set a time for it to be sent. You can add a link and/or upload a document. If you choose, you can also text individual students. All of the texts are recorded and kept as long as you keep the class. Above is a video giving you a great overview and here are several videos explaining how to use different parts of it. If you use Blackboard, the video below shows you how to embed Remind texts into a Blackboard page.
