Remind is a program that allows teachers to send a message to students. This is meant to be used by teachers to "remind" students that they have an assignment or that a big project is due soon. Students can either download the app or sign up for the text messages. No private data is given to the teachers or by the teachers.
To be able to use this resource in a classroom a teacher would need a smartphone with the remind app. Students would either need the app or they can just have the messages texted to them from the automated system. Since the students don't need the app they wouldn't necessarily need a smartphone however they would need to have a cell phone. However, if the school provides them with a tablet such as an iPad that means they could get the app. But, this wouldn't make as much sense since the point of the resource is to remind kids of a device their not used to being associated with assignments.
