to text message students and stay in touch with parents.
It is 100% free and is used by over 500,000 teachers, students and parents to send millions of messages every month.
FAST, SAFE & EASY Available on most cellular devices through
your app store and available as a website.
USES Send messages to:
Co-workers Students Parents
Ensure a safe way to send weekly news, updates and important information.
THE FIRST STEP: CREATING AN ACCOUNT For this class we will have each learner
create an account using the Remind 101 website. You can later download the app to your phone or tablet.
Open a new window in your internet server and type in the following address:www.remind101.com
JOIN:Once on the website, fill out the registration screen and then click sing up.
GET STARTED: ADD YOUR FIRST CLASS
You will create one class to begin with in order to become accustom to the idea of Remind 101. Select a class name enter into the rectangle and then click Add.
The example is my class for Creekside PE Students and Parents.
NOW GRAB YOUR PHONE AND SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CLASS! Remind 101 will create a unique phone # and code for you to use
with your class. Simply give this # and code to your students and/or parents and they will be able to subscribe to your class.
Simply have students/parents text your unique code to the number and they will be added to your class.
DON’T WORRY The only phone number that your students or
parents will see is the Remind 101 phone number that was generated for your account. Your personal phone number will never be released to students. And you will not have there phone numbers!
Be
Happy
PARTICIPATE Be sure to subscribe to your own class!
You must be a subscriber to move on to the next step of the registration process.
Using your phone send your message code to the number given for your class!
