“What’s wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology.” – Steve Jobs

Steve’s right. But we believe technologies like PenPal News should be used to make learning experiences richer and more powerful for students. Our goal is to make class-to-class connections a standard part of how we educate kids in the 21st century. If you dig it, come work with us.
