Remind is
excited to announce Stamps, a new way for students and parents to provide
instant feedback on your Remind messages! With Stamps, you can easily ask
questions and get quick answers from your class in real-time. For example, you
can find out who is going on a field trip, who is confused about a new topic
you introduced, or even, who likes the messages you’re sending.
It’s
simple. You send a message to your class, just as you’ve always done with
Remind. Students and parents receive the message on the Remind app and can
choose one of four stamps to give feedback ★

?. You’ll get timely updates when
class members stamp your messages, so you can check the stamps later or watch
as they arrive in real-time while in class.
While
one-way messages kept students and parents informed, many teachers began asking
us for an easy way to engage their class. We’ve spent a lot of time working
with teachers like Diane,Laura, and Roni (thanks!) to ensure Stamps
could provide instant feedback for teachers while keeping Remind simple and
easy-to-use. Only teachers can see who stamped what so everyone in your class
can feel comfortable leaving honest feedback.
With all
our new features, we’ve been careful to maintain the simplicity and safety that
have been at the heart of Remind. While Stamps are only available on our new
iOS or Android app, students and parents can continue receiving your messages
over SMS or email in case they don’t have a smartphone. This lets you continue
using Remind just as you always have.
Stamps are
available in the new version of our app available
on iOS and Android. Expect more cool new features to come now that our mobile
app supports students and parents. We can’t wait to show you what’s next!
We wish
you an amazing school year, and hope that Stamps makes it easier to guide your
class towards success!
As always,
if you have questions please reach out to us by e-mail: contact@remind.com, or onTwitter, or Facebook.
Josh and
the Remind team
