NEW… Teachers Rooms

A Teachers Room is a way to interact and share on a specific topic within a limited timeA Room can be created by any eTwinner and does not require any approval. By default it has:– A description and a timeframe (2 months: it can be

extended to another 2). Rooms created by CSS/NSS are public (no need to join) and have no timeframe

– a multi-threaded forum– a public chatroom
