This fall semester, I have experienced using multiple different web tools. One web tool that I now use daily is “Remind.” This app is primarily used for communication; therefore, being a student, you have access to speaking with your teachers at any hour approved by them. I know that you probably thinking, ” what’s so special about “remind” when there are other ways to contact your teacher for instance, an email.” Well, here are a few reasons why I prefer to use “Remind.”
- Its a form of texting which I do on a daily
- I receive an immediate response instead of waiting for an educator to read their email, which can take a couple of hours/days. “Remind” gives you a notification as if it were a regular text message
- you can see when the person has read your message
- Pictures, links, messages
- Parents & students have access to this app; therefore, if anybody has any questions at all for the educator, they can contact them through remind and get a quick response
- “Remind” is a great tool to build individual relationships with every student. ~Now that I have shared reasons why I use and enjoy the app, Click here to learn more!
How I would Use “Remind” In a classroom
As a future educator, “remind” is a tool that I plan on using. I will set up a classroom with a link in the app and give it to students and parents. This will allow students and their guardians to talk to me personally without setting any conference up. Also, it eliminates the waiting period of getting a response back. Its convents for them and they have a way to get the answers. updates, and progress they desire.
