**Ideas for Implementation:**

 * Cameras for documentation - send pic as a text or email address
 * Idea: For locations in Hershey, kids take pics of sites in Hershey
 * Take a pic & send to email
 * Post to drop.io - Free site!
 * Can also put audio and other types of files to drop.io
 * @http://drop.io.petec2010 This was used for this session.
 * Take a pic of the assignment or whiteboard
 * Text/ emails
 * Podcasts/ Voicemails ~ **646-402-5685 x 14836** (Need to have nationwide plan) ~ goes to drop.io (10G for free)
 * Reflect on what you've learned this week. Using a pen or pencil & some blank paper, come up with 3 concise sentences that describe what you'll take back to your classroom and/ or school. Once you've polished your sentences, call the number and leave a voicemail.
 * Good for a short response in Spanish - maybe a summary to a passage
 * Students can re-record and delete their messages (if they have the rights to access the drop.io account)
 * Can password protect the images/ audio to protect students' identities
 * Dial2do - converts voice to text message
 * Can use for homework or in class!
 * Poll for formative assessments - Text to **99503**
 * Poll Everywhere
 * Quick Poll on Poll Everywhere
 * Send an appointment/ reminder/ calendar on phone
 * **1-800-GOOG-411** ~ find a place to e.g. eat lunch, etc.
 * Google Voice - Create a phone number that can be forwarded to up to 10 phones. You can have students leave voicemails, text.
 * Wiffiti ~ Text & students' messages will appear on a web page you set up.
