Re: Organizing, keeping track and making sure things get done

We use a twitter account, during the year we have all students text 40404 with "follow theBlitzTeam" and then everytime I update the twitter account they automatically get sent a text. It really cuts down on the time it takes to set up a meeting. Even though I specifically set it up so we have a meeting from 5pm-9pm every Thursday over the summer many students still forget... So I send out a friendly text reminder through twitter the night before and the day of. Not only this but the students can't lie to their parents about having to go to a robotics meeting anymore!
