Supporting at-risk students through simple technology


A recent article in the New York Times identifies how simple “nudges” can provide the support for low-income students to:

·      Prevent dropping out of college
·      Navigate the hurdles for applying and attending college
·      Provide support to parents of pre-school students around literacy and math

These nudges are as simple as personalized text messages, and some coaching around study skills. 


How could these approaches be used to support students in your classes or schools?
