We have a few 'edu' forums on lefora, from book clubs at universities, to individual high school classes, to after school clubs. We'd like to hear some more feedback on how we can help in the edu space - as a forum is a great way to take classroom discussions 'online'. If you are anybody would like to work with us on putting together some best practices for education, we'd be happy to blog about it as well and provide this info to teachers looking to start a forum. Just send me an email at 'vincent -at- lefora.com' Hi Larry, great lineup of services (i’m part of the lefora team).

We have quite a few educational groups and communities (e.g. educamps, classrooms) on mixxt, mostly from Germany, but more and more from Poland, the UK ...
