Today I was introduced with another exciting tool www.rafi.ki which I found very interesting tool for teachers to create virtual school. Rafi.ki is a platform where teachers can create school page and make fill out their profile. I found the platform as a desktop with windows where you can easily drag images and save your pages.

Rafi.ki is absolutely free for schools outside UK and very secure for those who are concerned about privacy.

And for those who have limited time to create projects there hundreds of already running projects to which your school can join for free and interact with other schools and classes.

I will be posting about my rafi.ki experience while learning about its features and upgrades.
