What is a GEG?

GEGs are independently run communities of educators who inspire and empower each other to meet the needs of students through technology both in the classroom and beyond. GEGs provide a way for educators who are passionate about education and technology to meet like minded people to share, learn, and collaborate together.

GEGs are self-led by educators and provide a space for us to:

• Share ideas and best practices for using Google tools in the classroom.

• Collaborate on projects.

• Support each other in integrating technology into their teaching.

GEGs can be local, regional, or even global, and they meet both in person and online.  They are a great way for educators to connect with like-minded colleagues and learn from each other.

GEG or G.E.G.?

Do you say GEG (to rhyme with egg) or pronounce each letter? There is no consensus on this; some people choose to read GEG as a word and some people prefer to read it as an acronym, so choose whatever you feel most comfortable with.
