📍 Connect Globally: How to Find Your Local Google Educator Group

[ZC]

While many of us are familiar with Google Classroom and Workspace, the most powerful 'tool' in the Google for Education ecosystem is actually its people.

What is a Google Educator Group (GEG)? GEGs are independently run communities where educators share, collaborate, and support each other locally and globally. Unlike a standard tech support forum, these are communities of practice designed to help you connect with passionate leaders who work within your specific area of expertise.

How to Find Your Tribe: You don't need to travel to a conference to find a network. Most GEGs are regionally based, but many also operate online, allowing you to join regardless of your physical location.

Step-by-Step:

1. Visit the Google Educator Groups homepage.
2. Scroll down to the 'Find a community near you' map.
3. Search for your city or region to find the nearest chapter.

If you don't see a pin near you, look for groups labeled 'Global' or 'Online' that host virtual meetups. Whether you are in GEG Nagoya or GEG Buenos Aires, there is likely a group ready to welcome you.

Thank you @ZC for sharing these 🙏. By the way, are you still open for new chapter for the GEG community? As I remembered I used to attend once, maybe in 2016 or 2017, with GEG Phnom Penh community but now look it's not in the list.

Looking forwards to hearing from you!
