Sep0
Parents want online testing in schools. We know it is official as we saw it reported on the BBC website!
The report says that 1in 12 of the parents polled by government education technology agency Becta were getting informed using texting. However, 68% of parents polled wanted schools to use online texting technologies to keep them up to date more frequently.
If your school doesn’t have online texting yet look no further than Looknothumbs.com, the home of on-line texting. We have the technology and scalability to support a school’s texting requirements:
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a bulk text message to all of the parents. Very useful if the school has to close suddenly for any reason and the kids are being sent home early.
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a text message to a sub-set of parents whose kids are in the same class, on a school trip or even not turned up for school.
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a text message to a single child’s parents or guardians letting them know that their child is in trouble, injured, has won an award for the school … whatever and both good news as well as bad.
The main point is that our technology allows a school to manage its texts to parents using our online texting service very easily and efficiently and … of course … it can all be done without the need to fiddle about with a mobile phone text-pad. Our solution makes use of your PC to send out text messages while you are online!
