Class Features:

Private: Only students you invite to the class will be able to access it.
Customized: The Booksie site will only show work from the class. If students decide to explore and visit other groups, then they will be able to view other content from writers around the world. Booksie is a PG-13 environment.
Fast and Easy: Set up your Teacher Account in five minutes. Create a forum topic or homework assignment in seconds. The easy-to-use interface has almost no learning curve.

Plus:

The Booksie High School Essay Contest.
Booksie is currently running a High School Student essay contest. When students are done with their writing, or have older writing, they can easily enter it into the contest.
Make the contest part of your curriculum to motivate your class to write towards a goal. Ten winners will have their essays published in an ebook anthology distributed via Amazon and other online retailers.
