I would love to be part of this unique chat forum. I am blown away by the idea of empowering students to continue open dialogue in a safe and collaborative environment. This seems to be very promising to extend pupils to heighten their thinking, broaden their horizons of knowledge and opening them up to connections with no limitations.

We at PenPal School agree “that the best way for kids to really get to know each other is to give them opportunities to do something together” and in the magic of collaboration. We connect students 7 and up with PenPals around the world and together they take online courses to learn together. Could be a great compliement to this project! http://www.penpalschools.com
