GoSoapBox is a digital space where you can interact with your students.
We call each space an Event.
![Page 3: Getting Started with GoSoapBox - September 2013](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052621/55816aedd8b42ae15f8b46cd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Events can be created from your Account Dashboard.
We recommend creating one event for each class or period you teach.
