Overview

While most companies today are currently embracing the work-from-home system to cope up with the world’s current situation, the global pandemic also made a huge impact on the education system. Most schools today were encouraged to adapt to the online learning system where students can learn their lessons through various online platforms. The communication platform like Remind is extremely beneficial today. Remind is an education-centric communication app that allows teachers, students, and parents to stay connected in one interactive platform. The app comes with an overwhelming number of communication tools that teachers, students, and parents can use anytime and anywhere.

How Does Remind Works?

Remind is a very simple communication app that comes with a simple interface that users can easily navigate and explore. Simply download the app either from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store to get started. Much like the Class Dojo app, the tools that you can use from this app will depend on your chosen role. There are five roles in this app; the Administrator who takes full control of everything; the Teachers who can create online classes and set office hours; the Students who can participate in classes; the Parents who can also join the classes and get updates to their kid’s progress; and No Roles who can designate a student, parent, or teacher role in their account settings.
