Remind (formerly Remind101) is a private mobile messaging platform that enables teachers to send Reminders to students and parents via text and email.[1] The platform has over 10 million users and sends over 65 million messages per month.[2] As of February 2014, 15% of the K-12 teacher population in the U.S used Remind101 Remind was founded in 2011 by brothers Brett and David Kopf to help bridge the communication gap in primary education.[5][6] Brett Kopf was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and dyslexia while he was still in school and credits his brother David setting up a system where school faculty could Remind him of an upcoming test played a part in his success in school.[4][6] The two decided to make the system into a company and became part of the first class at the Imagine K12 incubator in Palo Alto, CA, where all startups must focus on improving education.[7] The brothers incorporated feedback from 100’s of teachers, who they interviewed to develop a platform that would work for them.[4] The founders described themselves as "teacher obsessed" and focus on building the product for teachers. In the first 3 weeks after launch, the platform was used by over 1,500 teachers, 15,000 students and parents; cumulatively sending over 130K messages Teachers create a class in Remind from the website, iPhone or Android app. Students and parents do not have to visit the website; rather, they sign up from their phone by sending a text message or email, which is accommodating, even in low-income areas. Teachers can send broadcast messages to entire classes of students or parents or may message a subset of the class. The messages are one-way, so students cannot reply. The nature of the messages range from assignment Reminders and upcoming exams to last minute room changes or words of encouragement. Teachers can also schedule messages in advance and look back on their communication history, which is never deleted. Frequently, these messages contain attachments, such as pictures of the whiteboard, videos from a field trip or homework assignments.[3]
