Communication101... Meet Remind101

Have you heard of or are you using Remind101?? Remind101 is a powerful tool that allows teachers to communicate with parents, students, sports teams, pretty much anyone via text message without ever exchanging phone numbers. Text messages can be sent to registered phone numbers through either the Remind101 website, Android device app, or iOS devices app. Reminders such as when homework is due, test tomorrow, science fair project due in a week, can be instantly sent right to the devices people use constantly! One of the best parts... it is FREE! To begin using Remind101, set up a free account through the website or app. After setup, your group will be assigned a phone number and message for you to give to anyone whom you would like in your group. These individuals will simply text the phone number the code, and voila! they will be added to your list. You will not be able to see their phone number, they will not see yours.

Four basics about Remind101:

1. Manage up to 10 different groups/classes
2. Messages can be seen as a text or email
3. Schedule messages to be sent at a later date or time
4. View the history to view when messages were sent and to how many
