What is Bulletin Board?

The Bulletin Board app is a simple tool that allows users to post short messages or images, depending on the selected theme, inside your world. Students (or any participant) can submit messages or images, but those will only appear publicly after an admin approves them.

This approval process helps schools maintain a safe and moderated communication space where students can share positive notes, announcements, community messages, or images.

This app supports three themes:
  • Bulletin Board: Text-based message board.

  • Bulletin Board – Sketch: Text-based message board.

  • Parking Lot: Image-based, users upload images instead of text.
