It’s gottenmore complicated and a bit riskier. There are countless ways to send messages: SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, iMessage. Butnot all are created equal. While many claim to care about privacy, few actually live up to that promise. Scammers have access What’s...
to give them. Even now, I don’t thing it’s a terrible way to frame what most teachers do in their classroom. But somewhere along the line, I felt like it wasn’t working out for me or my students. In a lot of ways, it came down to numbers. If I wanted my students to ...
