All the advantages of SMS text messages in education

The use of SMS text messages in education is increasingly widespread. But what exactly are we talking about? What we mean is sending text messages in schools and educational environments, when these messages are sent for professional or promotional reasons.

However, is it useful for schools to send out text messages?

Without a doubt, it is. The cellular phone is a device that we always have on us. We use it as an alarm, a clock, a computer, a music player and for many other purposes. All of the time we spend on our cell phones makes it the fastest, most effective device for sending and receiving messages in every arena within of our lives, including education. Moreover, in this specific arena, sending messages provides many additional advantages:

• It drastically reduces costs and, above all, the time spent making calls. This has a direct influence on increasing productivity among the staff members responsible for such tasks.
• At the same time, communication between all parties involved is increased and enhanced. We no longer have to wait for students to pass information on to their parents. With a simple text message, this job gets done faster, more efficiently and with greater ease.
• Furthermore, text messages promote faster problem-solving. By creating better communication between everyone involved, conflicts and misunderstandings get nipped in the bud quickly.
• Last of all, the sending of text messages by private and public educational institutions can lead to an increase in sales of courses and seminars.

So, what can text messages be used for at schools and universities?

For elementary schools, high schools and universities, sending texts can have many uses and provide many advantages:

• They can be used to send out notices containing useful information. For example, they can be used to inform parents about the date when their children’s grades will be issued, to remind them to sign permission forms for field trips, or even to inform them about upcoming holidays.
• They can also be used to report emergencies or send out security-related bulletins. They are useful for warning about accidents on the way to schools or to inform that schools will be closed due to inclement weather, as well as many other such issues.
• They are a very helpful resource to use when arranging for meetings. They can be used to tell parents to attend group meetings or private tutorials quickly and easily.
• They are also useful for marketing, because they can be sent out to promote courses, events or seminars, for example.
