Introducing: Thousands of global connections for every student

Today we’re excited to announce a new feature to make your classrooms more globally connected than ever: global student forums!

Students love connecting with peers from around the world with PenPal Schools, but sometimes their PenPals don’t write back as often as they’d like. Now, every student can safely connect and collaborate with thousands of students in the PenPal Schools community!

Here's how it works:

1. In each weekly lesson, students learn about a topic and then answer a discussion question. Now, after sending their answers to their small group of PenPals, students can choose to post their answers in the global student forum.
2. Students can comment on answers from other students all over the world who also completed the same lesson, expanding the discussion beyond their PenPal groups. 
3. Just like PenPal exchanges, teachers can see every message in the global student forum. Any inappropriate or off-topic messages can easily be flagged and removed.​

​Enroll in a new project to see the student forums and start connecting with more students in the PenPal Schools community!
