Remind Post

Tools such as remind is another avenue to communicate with parents. Of course communication such as this has been available for years with email and creating email groups. I suppose an advantage of an app such as Remind is that the message goes directly to a cell phone so the message for most would be more immediate with most individuals having their phone by their side 24/7. One thing that I notice in the activity directions was I was asked to describe the class and create a class code. This option did not come up. I found an instructional video which showed this option to come up as I created the class but it would not come up with mine. I'm wondering if this is an updated version of Remind. The person I invited to join my class responded and was added. I'm wondering if a code was automatically created and sent with the shared request. I decided to set my class up not in my classroom setting but in my setting as a track coach as a way of communicating with my athletes. When practice starts I will share the class with them when I get their email addresses. I have uploaded several screen shots for this activity. I was unable to find one screen on Remind with everything that was asked for in the activity so with all the screen shots I have taken 1 class, 1 sent message and I subscriber should be visible. Also for this project I tried uploading my screen shots to google drive and then downloading them to my computer. For some reason the download to my computer would not read the file. I tried taking a screen shot from the files from google drive on my computer, cropping them on Paint and pasting and copying them to a word document but blogger would not allow me to attach a word document. I am not sure what else to do so I will email you the attachment of the document. I hope that this is ok but spending 90 minutes trying to get my screen shot onto blogger has left me frazzled.
