Research on texting between teachers and students shows that it can drive student engagement and deliver positive results, according to Scott Hamm, director of online education at Hardin-Simmons University. While most of the research was done on college level students, Hamm suggests the merging of texting with other classroom communications is a no brainer for younger students as well, as texting is the primary communication medium of 14- to 18-year-olds.

 

It is an interesting idea, but privacy concerns and opportunities for the misuse of this kind of communication, including inappropriate contact, are monumental. The job of being a teacher under these kinds of circumstances would also be incredibly time consuming. For parents, it is certainly something to be aware of as technology continues to roll out.
