Be a Better Googler!

I've ran across this website that has some very nice searching techniques and resources for searching the internet and tools to help teach research skills.
Do I Just Google That?

Communication

I've been shown the website called remind101 and it sounds like something that would work for us. It says it is:
A safe way for teachers to text message students and stay in touch with parents. Free. 
Instantly message a class of students or their parents from your computer.
Teachers never see students' phone numbers. Students never see theirs. 
Students and parents join by sending a text message. No computer needed.

It is in beta but it is worth a try. Mr. Hansmeyer is going to start setting it up. If anyone else gives it a try, let me know how it works for you.
