Mrs. Billings, Mrs. Rutherford uses it for her science class to remind students about important dates and tests. Ms. Salazar's says that " It is working quite well because I have students remembering to turn in homework, permission slips, and school events. Parents have caught on, subscribed to my text feed, and help remind their kids. I like that you can schedule a time to send the text without visiting the site too." Mr. Alexander also puts bonus questions out to students to encourage them to stay in touch. Mrs. Gibson uses it with her clubs as well as her classroom to remind the students about meetings and share information. Ms. Pfluger says " I am taking 43 students to UT next Wednesday for an engineering event. I have setup a Remind 101 to update students on what to plan for, and will use it onsite to make sure we all know where to be. Great since the app is on my phone!"
Ms. East found Remind 101 this summer through Pinterest and has been using it all year to remind students to bring specific supplies to class, or " If I receive lots of homework questions through email or catch a mistake on the homework. I will send out a remind 101 text clarifying the homework issue. I also use it to remind my advisory when report cards and progress reports are due. I may start sending advisory texts about Wednesday's dress up days, too!" One of the features she likes most is that you can schedule the texts to go out ahead of time.
Check with your classroom teacher to see if they are using Remind101 to stay in touch.
