I find that texting is a great way to keep in contact with students. They are usually very appreciative of text reminders for important dates/ events or just to check up and see how they are doing. (I teach at an online school).
stephen,
this is a great strategy & as you said, allows them to practically apply what they have learned.

Since I teach Business, I Make the final exams a 20 minute power point presentation in front of the class, then we disscus the topic and presentation. It exposes them to the real word of business comunications,and allows them to use thier technologies in a real word application. They love it.
This sounds like a great idea I cant wait to use in class. I think i will grab their attention much more longer also. Thanks for sharing.

Andy,
this is a great example of the value that we can find in the technology that is out there if we look for it.

I agree. I also search and find things on the internet that pertain to a much deeper lesson about personal conduct and mindset in the work place. There are many resources out there are relate directly to success outside out just the lesson at hand in the class. Topics on, how to communicate, perception, and idea sharing.
