The Global Virtual Classroom will be using the conference forum facilities provided by Nicenet.org. Nicenet's Internet Classroom Assistant (ICA) provides a safe, convenient, feature-filled environment for classroom communication and collaboration. It offers not only threaded discussion, but also the ability to share web links and documents for both GVC Contest Teams and GVC Clubhouses, as well as for the GVC "Teacher's Lounge" and "Tech Support" forums.
