Google+ Communities

 

For a continued conversation about EdTech Tools and Integration, I have created a Google Community called CPS EdTech Integration. In this community we can share questions, successes, and resources. Please create a personal Gmail account to access this as the CPS email does not allow for Google+ as of now. Please share your email address with me and I will send an invite to join the group. jrsimenson@cps.edu or you can search the community and ask to join.
