Communities



EdNet Communities are online discussion and collaboration hubs for large groups of educators and others with a common interest, such as state geographic alliances, National Geographic programs like Geography Action!, and other educational initiatives.

Within each community, members can share resources, post messages, apply for professional development workshops, find events and happenings around the country, and more!
