This tool allows for texting without the use of personal numbers between the instructor and students which is an ideal communication option for an online class. Online students choose online learning for many reasons - one of those reasons being because their lives are too busy which does not allow them to dedicate specific dates or periods of time to attend classroom learning. Many of these students are always on the go for either work of family related situations. The use of Remind requires a cellphone which most everyone today owns or has access to the use of one. A common similarity of most cellphone users is that they always have their phones on them. The use of Remind technology would allow questions, statements and responses to be asked and received anywhere at any time. The student does not need to be in front of a computer to communicate their needs.
