Remind 101

Okay, this is super great for teachers. It's designed just for the educational setting! Basically, this is a way for you to text your kids and parents reminders about things that are coming up. They can even receive the text messages via email if they prefer. The teacher sets up an account, and kids can "subscribe". the teacher never sees the student phone numbers, only the number of people who have subscribed. The teacher then sends out a text and it is received by everyone on the list.

Accounts are free to create, and you can create up to 10 different groups within your username. You just tell the kids which one to sign up for. So for example, I could create a group for my on-level kids, my PAP kids, and the extra-curricular activity that I sponsor. SO COOL!

You can even schedule ahead, so you can pre-write your text reminding the kids about the text next week, and have the system send it the day before. I think that the way kids communicate these days, this is a super effective tool!
