Remind Communication Information
Remind is a messaging tool designed for teachers which allows you to communicate with students and/or parents. It is totally free and completely safe. You, the teacher, can correspond with students via text messaging or through email. For the purposes of this course, I encourage you to make use of the texting option as you don't have to have internet in order to access the messages. If you do not routinely text, then go for the email option. ** You must register for the READ 6100 Remind class **. Note: I will never see your phone number nor will you ever see mine. Remind is web-based or accessible through an app. The app allows more interaction.
