Remind, formerly Remind101, is a communication tool that helps teachers reach students and parents where they are.

Viber is a free application that allows you send texts and make calls to your students and their parents and encourages students to communicate and coordinate their school work. For example, when working on group assignments, students can create their own group to decide on team roles, plan their work, and arrange any meeting times. In addition, teachers can create a class or parent group to send out notices, remind students about deadlines, and share information.

This parent-teacher communication app offers the texting features of Remind.com plus classroom calendars, a meeting scheduler, volunteer tracking, and more. Parents can also communicate with one another, and can consult a mini social-media feed incorporating everything going on with the group. Upload photos, videos, or documents. Bloomz is particularly well-suited to elementary school classes. Private, secure, easy, and fun.

As a student, one of the best lessons I have learned is time management, and Studious is the app targeted at helping students master this life skill! This app is an intuitive and innovative answer to the 'basic' homework planner: Studious helps students organize their homework and exams on a normal calendar, but will also remind students of when assignments and projects are due in addition to when an exam date is approaching - all while setting up the best times in the student's schedule to start studying!
