Today's Digital Tool Tuesday is on Sign Up Genius. I had a teacher ask me what the best way to have parents sign up for something would be, and Sign Up Genius is a great option, so I thought I'd post about it this week! It can be used to recruit parent volunteers, and it is a great way to have parents sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences. I know several teams are using Sign Up Genius already, but for those of you who aren't, let's dive a little deeper!
Like many online tools available today, there is a free and a "pro" version of Sign Up Genius. The free version should do the trick for you, though! The website takes you through, step by step, what you need to do to create a sign up. You start with making a group, and giving the sign up a title. Then you choose a theme, and you can even add your own image. Next you decide what kind of sign up to do; One-Time or Custom will work best for a sign up for events like a team lunch, and Time Slots will work best for conferences (note that all the options give you a place to select a time-frame, but you don't have to fill that out). From there you manage your time slots (e.g. 20 minute time slots for conferences) or the items people are signing up for (e.g. forks, plates, drinks, for a lunch). Sign Up Genius will email a reminder to those signed up, and you can push out messages to them as well. Once you are finished designing the sign up, you can put in email addresses, or just use the link it gives you and give that link to parents. Parents will see the slots, and you can see who signed up for what. Sign Up Genius takes off filled slots for you. Easy peasy! As always, if you want to implement this tool but need some assistance, let me know. Using Sign Up Genius already? Comment below to share how you use it!
