Remind is an app and download that allows teachers to communicate with their students (and parents) via text messages from your phone, computer, or iPad.
Many teachers at #ISD 484 are already using this app and finding success in posting test reminders, practice locations, meeting times, and other announcements. Worth noting: this is a one-way communication tool. Students cannot respond to messages you send.
The app is always free for teachers: https://www.remind.com/ and takes just a few minutes to get set up.
To get started, download the Remind application onto your smartphone; the app is free in both the iTunes and Google Play. After creating an account, you can post a short code for students to use when registering. It is important to note that students are not required to download the app on their side. Instead, the messages come to their device – smartphone or otherwise – as standard text messages. Once students send the code to the number provided (which the application generates automatically), the system immediately responds to each participant requesting a name or avatar to facilitate the development of the course roster on the application. After the set up process is complete, the app is ready for use. - See more at: http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-with-technology-articles/using-remind-app-online-classroom/#sthash.y0jh6yrO.dpuf
