Re: Team Communication Tools
Check out www.edmodo.com.
This website is designed for gradebooks and teachers, but has since moved over to more of a social networking website for educators. I use if for me team for its free text messaging features. I simply ask my students to sign-in once to set up the account and text message notifications and we're good to go. It's great to get quick messages out to the entire team while not having to collect everyone's phone number (phone numbers are all kept private). One of my other mentors set me up on this last year and it has been awesome!
Feel free to use this screencast to help your students out in setting up their notifications.
