Group Admin Instructions
 

3. Create your collaboration group.

  • Group Name: This should include the full name of your school, district or organization, with no acronyms (if possible). This is how people will search for your group. (If you refer to your school as JJHS, there might be several other schools nationwide with the same acronym.)
  • Group Category: Choose the type of group; school-based, district-based, or allies. Having the right group category is important for sorting and searching. 
  • Group Photo: Add a photo; maybe your team, school, district, or organization logo.
  • Group Description: Add further details about your group, what the group does and who can join. You can include photos and videos. This page can be seen by all community members.
  • Group Location: Include location information. This is used for search functions and mapping on the website.
