When you need to get the word out, in a safe & family friendly
way....Remind is a perfect solution. (https://www.remind.com/) Remind (formally known as Remind 101) is a way to text Parents & Students important, fun or newsworthy announcements about what is happening in Class. Remind Students of a test, important project updates and more. It's the buzz around my School as many of the teachers are turning to it for their Classroom communications, instead of relying solely on a weekly printed newsletter that often times gets lost, overlooked or pitched without being read. Remind works and works well!
It's also easy to access, update & share, comes web based, and works great with iOS & Android devices. One more thing...you can embed the code on your webpage or in a
blog! Now that's a cool feature! So, if a Parent does not have access to texting, they can tune into your Class Webpage or Blog for this update. I like it!
To embed an HTLM code to a webpage or blog from Remind:
- Go to "My Account" and click "Settings"
- Under "Widgets", in the left side menu, it gives step by step instructions, as well as buttons to copy the HTML code. Copy this code and paste it on your webpage or blog. It's a snap!
This...is a good idea!
