With the start of the school year, a multitude of applications and platforms of all kinds emerge that further integrate tablets and smartphones, not only among students, regardless of their age or educational level, but also, at first glance, facilitate the work of teachers and interaction with parents is encouraged. In recent years, education and technology have been strengthening their relationship and today, many academic institutions do not conceive of learning without the devices that millions of people use every day in many other fields.
To the apps that we have presented to you on other occasions aimed at language learning or reinforcement in other fields, others are added such as Remind, of which we now tell you more details and which, as usual, combines elements of tools from different fields with the aim of reaching the top and becoming a benchmark. Will you be ready for it?
Operation
As we reminded you before, it is common to find tools that combine the best of some fields. In the case of Remind, education and communication go hand in hand, since its basis is the sending of posts between groups of teachers, students and parents with the aim of both coordinating the study plans and facilitating the interaction between the different actors to achieve better results. Synchronization is one of its strengths, since it allows the connection with other media and the sending of content through them.
Protection
Applications in which minors play an important role must guarantee their protection. At first glance, Remind offers a secure messaging and free of advertising content while protecting parents and teachers through the encrypted of conversations and phone numbers of each user.
Free?
Remind does not have no initial cost, which has helped it to exceed 10 million users. It has been present for some time in application catalogs and has been generally well received by the educational community and by parents, who consider the interaction and the possibility of maintaining a fast communication as one of its strengths. However, it has also received some common criticism in most existing applications such as errors when registering as users or changes in the interface that can make it difficult to handle.
