I would love it if my county went to an opt out for login/password much as we do with Family Life Education as it would open so much more to my students. But until then it is great to have British teacher Russell Tarr and his great inventions such as Fakebook (my posts on how to do it), Faketweet (some of my posts on it) and now the SMS Generator as none of them require a login/password and yet each can be saved and re-edited and give the user a unique url. One of my teacher-students came up with the great idea to use a Google Form and had her students turn in their links to Fakebook that way.
Well now you can do a similar fun exchange between two people and have your students pretend they are texting. It is amazingly easy. At the top of this post is a very simple example I just did. When you look at the bottom of the SMS Generator, you will see on the left (under #1) a "+" which you click to have a text appear on the left and #5 above will make another person's appear on the right. The gear (#3) gives you the option to get the embed code as well as a QR picture (which you can also see above). The "new" icon lets you start a new set of texts.
Incidentally I found out about the SMS Generator from a G+ post from Richard Byrne.
