Group Conversations are Here

We’ve been busy all year adding new capabilities to Orah Communications.
When we recently launched one to one conversations, we knew what you were going to ask and we had the answer ready–group conversations are here!
Today we have released the ability to create a group conversation with as many students as you are brave enough to do so with 🙂 Orah Communications allows schools to securely message students in a controlled environment. Only staff can initiate conversations, and conversations can be monitored.
Here's a quick overview of how it works

New ways to add students to conversations
Now there are many ways you can find the right students to bring into your Orah conversations:
- Search by name
- Use Orah tags to find a group of students
- Use houses to find a house group
- Use classes (SIS groups) to find specific students you teach
- –or a combination of all the above.
You can use the school data structures you already have in place as needed to create the groups that work best for your school.
And don’t forget: if it helps, you can:
- Give a group a name
- Add or remove members as you need to
This is a simple but very powerful feature of Orah Communications and we are excited to see how you might be using it.
