Communication with students and parents is an aspect of teaching that has become dramatically more complex over the last decade, and mobile technology has been a significant driver in that change.  Now that both groups can generally be assumed to have some sort of mobile technology about their person, the expectation is of continuous contact and communication with the classroom teacher(s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remind<\/a> is a service that aims to address that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remind (formerly Remind101) is a mobile-based service that allows teachers, administrators, or advisors to communicate with students and parents in a relatively safe environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typical Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A teacher creates an account with Remind (either via their app or their website) and creates a \u2018class.\u2019  Students are given a \u2018class code\u2019 which they can use to join the class on their phones.  Students are then able to receive messages from their teacher and, if the teacher has chosen to enable the setting, to respond to them.  Students have the option to receive these messages either via the downloaded app, or if they don\u2019t want to use data, they can use SMS text messaging to send and receive messages from their teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
