Startups 100-listed Pobble<\/a>, an online literacy company which connects teachers and students via an ‘online classroom wall’, has launched its service globally.<\/p>\n

The company, which won the People’s Champion Award<\/a> at the prestigious Startups Awards 2015 and recently featured in our Awards Hall of Fame<\/a>, currently hosts 40,000 pieces of written work across 100 countries and has the backing of famous children’s authors Michael Morpurgo and Anthony Horowitz.<\/p>\n

Jon Smith, Pobble Co-Founder and CEO, said: “We’ve been astounded by the support and demand for Pobble, which is inspiring young people to write and providing valuable resource for teachers.<\/p>\n

“The platform was founded and developed in the classroom, with the impact on teaching and learning as our central consideration. Quite simply, we’re on a global literacy mission and we’ve developed and evolved the Pobble platform around that.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
