texting for HW?

So one of my friends who teaches in Maryland attended a conference recently.  It was an amazing technology conference apparently.  Anyway, one of the things she shared was called Contxts.  This is a website designed for people to post their contact information - then can give clients a "business card" via text.  How can we use this technology for school?  Update your profile with homework for the week.  The kids can then text a number (which is not connected to your personal number) to see this week's homework!  You can try it by texting "BellES" to the number 50500. 
Check out the website
