I am an 8th grade English teacher. I would love to be able to set up class threaded discussions on our iPads. Is there a safe place to do this?

If your school has their own website I think that might be the most secure rout to go. You could also check with your IT department and have them set something up for you.

See if your school has a Moodle website. If so, it would be extremely easy to set up a secure forum that you could control with user logins. Moodle is designed as a Content Management System for delivering content to students.
