This is great!  Obviously "our" students - like us - have cell phones w
text capabilities and they want to save money.  Unlike me, they know how
to use their text function!! I LOVE it.

Technology Discussion List Colleagues,

The Chesterfield County (VA) Public Schools adult G.E.D. program  
recently experienced an over 200% increase, more than 400 applicants  
and test-takers in three weeks, thanks to a cell phone text message- 
based radio promotion.
