Hear every voice.
In a typical discussion 40% of students will actively and willingly contribute ideas. Parlay’s toolkit increases that number to 85% or more. Check out our efficacy study.

“I cannot express how much I am in love with Parlay Ideas! Such a great platform for discussion and expressing opinions in a safe, academic, anonymous manner!
Katie Burns, Community Consolidated School District 15“Students were more aware and intentional of their moves while discussing ideas. This made the discussion richer and better aligned with my learning targets and standards.”
Susan Hedgecock, Sarasota Christian Academy“There is so much post-discussion evidence within the tool. I LOVE the changes. Thanks for constantly improving and for taking feedback from teachers so meaningfully!”
