PENCIL Connect is a digital booking service used to craft engaging classroom experiences with ease. This is an innovative space where partners provide details on their areas of expertise and educators can browse for digital guest speaking engagements, job shadow experiences, and field trips that fit their individual classroom’s needs.
PENCIL Connect’s email enabled messaging, built-in calendar booking, and internally hosted video conferencing features are designed to increase equitable access to community partners of expertise. This service was also built with the flexibility required in both the modern classroom and emerging work-from-home cultures in mind.
