Behavior specialist paging system
September 4, 2015 3:47 PM   Subscribe

Looking for an app that will allow my colleagues to page me/notify me easily when they need me to come to their classes. I work at a small private school in Texas.

Currently, we don't have an ideal solution. In my perfect world, an app would exist where my colleagues would press a button or something else easy so they don't have to interrupt their class with texting on the phone, the app would notify me while everything else on my phone was mostly on silent, and it would have the functionality to tell me who had sent the notification so I would know where to go. I'm not sure if this exists, but I'm open to other ideas as well. Thank you so much for your help!

Goofy as it seems, it sounds to me like the "Yo" app might do the trick for you.

Could you hack one of the Amazon Dash buttons (lots of instructions on the web, if you or someone you know are code saavy)? Or if budget allows, perhaps this, or something similar.

Do Button with IFTTT.

Is this for a kid who needs immediate assistance?
