wanted to create a platform for stuents and teachers to be able to
connect outside of the classroom. Due to the boom in the social media
outlets with all the social networking sites available. Students now
have access to a plethora of different outlets. This site was done with
the outside classroom interaction in mind. It started as a small project
to get local students connected, then slowly grew to 3.7 million
students and teachers worldwide. The goal is to provide anytime,
anyplace learning for students in the fast paced world of technology.
