Re: Team Communication Tools
 

In September, we compile a list of everyone's phone numbers and email addresses to give to everyone. We primarily use email to communicate, as well as phone sometimes. When something big is coming up, I will send out text messages to all the students to remind them of the event. We also have a calender that gets emailed to us for the fall season and we get the Build Season calender at our holiday party in December. We just recently created a facebook for the team, which we use as a reminder for meetings and fundraiser deadlines for both the FRC team as well as the two FLL teams we mentor.

My team uses and embedded google calendar. It is very easy to set up and embed.

As of a few weeks ago our team uses wiggio. So far we've found it very useful.

Thanks for the site! I am a teacher in Texas and TEA has made teachers having a Facebook account a dangerous thing with some of their recent rulings/opinions. This will give me something new to use to communicate with my kids who don't check their email...

We use Zoho Projects to manage tasks and milestones for our team - it's free for basic applications and a small fee (to which our school subscribes to) for the more-extensive options.

Our school also has Google Apps (Education Edition) which we use to coordinate mass emails to team members and set team/sub-team meetings through Google Calendar.

Going to try a team IRC channel for low-bandwidth communication when relying on wireless at competition since I, myself do not rely on cell-phone.
