Digital Tool Tutorial: Remind

 

Hello Friends! For our digital tool tutorial, I decided to create two short videos (under 5 minutes each) demonstrating how to use Remind. I decided to make tutorials for this tool because I am planning to use it going into my new school as a main form of communication with my students and their caregivers.

 Prior to the pandemic (and certainly during it), I always used up my personal phone number to contact my students and their parents/family members/ caregivers. As you might guess, giving out my personal number came with pros and cons. The upside, I had everyone's contact information in my pocket and could easily text or call someone within seconds. The downside? They could do the same. 🤣 

So, given that I am still receiving texts from students despite being out of school for almost a week (I wish I was kidding but I'm not) I am looking forward to having this tool set-up for the beginning of the school year so that I can bring back some boundaries around communication between school and home. 

**A small disclaimer** As I mention in my first video, this tool can be used as a website or as an app on your phone. Both videos provided below are tutorials on using the website version of this tool. Keep in mind that if you choose to create an account and/or use this tool on your phone, your experience may vary from what I demonstrate in my videos.
