Bulletin board discussions can be thematic and all responses to questions are posted so that they can be read and appreciated by all.
Students therefore can read a wide array of reactions and impressions.
By formulating their own questions and responses, students using bulletin boards have the opportunity to use the language in authentic contexts and learn directly from their counterparts who are a native to the culture they are studying. These values were discussed within the context of certain ethical topics confronting teens globally, such as honesty, cheating, racism, pre-marital sex, violence in the media, etc. In addition to song, video, and drama, the chapel services incorporated the words of the students from Mexico and Chile who had responded via the E-bulletin board to express how important their families were to them. French 4 and 4 and 5 Honors classes utilize bulletin board for monthly, thematic discussions with its 3 partner schools in Tulouse, Dourdan, and Paris.
