Blog Entry #7: Remind

Remind is a communication app that allows for mass texting reminders, updates, or study tips to both students and their parents. It can send images, PDFs, voice or sound clips along with simple messages. It allows for instant communication with students/parents and can show who's received them and read them. I would use this free app to keep in touch directly with students and parents about what's being taught and on what days. I could remind them when tests or projects are due, if there will be any changes for the day/week's lesson plan, and could use it for one-on-one personal communication between students if they are struggling or tell them they're doing a great job, or talk to parents about study or class issues.
