Looks interesting...

I just signed up for Remind101... from their website:

How does remind101 work?

Great question! First, a teacher adds his/her class, which generates a unique code. The teacher then shares that code with students or parents. At that point, any student or parent who sends a text message with the code will be "subscribed" to the teacher's class. Any time a teacher sends a message from remind101, all the students or parents subscribed will receive it. This short videoexplains it A-Z.

iBuildApp - playing 2 learn

I started playing with iBuildApp a couple of weeks ago and decided to try one for my classroom next year....
... and 2 days later I have one 'almost complete'.
Whew - what took so long?
I forgot what I did the first time.

Banner?  Don't have one - started out by playing in Word, saving as a jpeg.  Again - just added text using Picasa and Creative Kit.
Then had to decide what I wanted to include.  Dug up an old wikispace account to reuse (ouch - need to work on display/colors.)

So...
here is what I have so far:
