They will have an email account, blog, virtual locker, etc. Does this fit among the ranks of the others you mentioned?

We hope the program is both useful and fun for students and teachers. Let me also take a moment to follow up on some of the bullets above. 1) Registration can happen by a teacher or a student can register up independently and then request a connection to their teacher once registration is completed 2) A parent's email is needed to complete the registration process for each student wanting to join his/her teachers class. While access is free for everyone we do require the parent to present a credit for authentication and security purposes. Once a parent has completed registration they can passively observe all class communications and activities. This is a great way to keep parents in the loop. 3)Imbee provides a great platform for class / Internet instruction and activities or just plain fun with blogging, messaging, photo exchange. 4) We're working on developing more interactive features for group collaboration. That release should be out at the end of October 5) We will be looking into adding wiki creation 6) Imbee is a fully hosted secure offering. The only requirement to access and use imbee is a broadband connection. 8) Imbee will be adding administrative access and monitor features. Release TBD Again thanks for covering us!

Let me also take a moment to follow up on some of the bullets above.

1) Registration can happen by a teacher or a student can register up independently and then request a connection to their teacher once registration is completed

2) A parent’s email is needed to complete the registration process for each student wanting to join his/her teachers class. While access is free for everyone we do require the parent to present a credit for authentication and security purposes. Once a parent has completed registration they can passively observe all class communications and activities. This is a great way to keep parents in the loop.

3)Imbee provides a great platform for class / Internet instruction and activities or just plain fun with blogging, messaging, photo exchange.

4) We’re working on developing more interactive features for group collaboration. That release should be out at the end of October

5) We will be looking into adding wiki creation

6) Imbee is a fully hosted secure offering. The only requirement to access and use imbee is a broadband connection.

8) Imbee will be adding administrative access and monitor features. Release TBD

Again thanks for covering us!
