Texting, Facebook & Myspace

Never one to be “the first,” I’ve recently gotten onto the Facebook/Myspace thing. I’m finding that where cell-phones used to be the new “it” when I first came to CSULA, now if I want to get in touch with my students, the fastest way to get a response is by leaving a comment on their Facebook/Myspace or, sometimes faster, by text message. I need to actually figure out if texts are part of my cell-phone plan, but I found a great website for sending free text messages - Txt2Day.com. Very easy. Great response time from my folks.

I’ve been discovering the same thing about texting. Students won’t return voicemail messages, but they’ll return a text in about 3 seconds. I’ll be sure to check out that website!
