Traction in Education!
Back in 2007 when we were still defining the concept behind SimplyBox, we already knew that the solution would appeal to students and educators. So, we are very pleased that our “guess” back then is actually materializing now.
In the last couple of months we have seen a lot of growth in our user base within education. And the growth has been very noticeable here in the US, but also in France, Australia, UK, New Zealand, … We are very thankful to a number of educators throughout the world that have been blogging about how our solution adds value to learning. Here are a few people that we wanted to thank (our apologies to those that were not listed, but the list would have been too long if we included everyone):

SimplyBox can play different roles in education. For some it is a fantastic research tool. For others it enhances virtual learning/tutoring. Students like it for writing papers. But what many educators are telling us is that the biggest value our solution offers is the improvement in the learning collaboration between teacher and student.
We thank all the students and educators that are embracing our solution. Stay tuned - there are a lot of enhancements that we will be releasing soon that will make your experience even more valuable.
Think (and Learn!) Inside the Box!
I have found SimplyBox to be a well-rounded social learning tool that can enhance any educational scenario. And, besides, it’s just fun!
Thank you for the mention. The link in this post points to my About page, so I wanted to provide the direct link to my blog article regarding SimplyBox: http://learningjourneys.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/simplybox/
