Remind 101

One more tool that I want to share with you is remind101.org. This is an app and website for teachers that allows us to send reminders to our students and parents via text messaging or email.

The students sign up by texting Remind101's number with a code, that we assign to our class. Remind101 then sends out a message asking for their name and adds them to your class list. The great thing is that there numbers are confidential. When I have work that is due, I schedule a text message on the website and Remind101 sends out my message in mass to my class.

I am currently trying this out with my 7th and 8th grade students and so far they seem to like it. It is a free site. They don't need to download anything. They just need texting.
