Creating a Group on I2geo
Creating a group on I2geo is a great way to develop a small community within the larger global education and learning community.
Your group can be based on shared interests, organizational affiliations, a specific curriculum development project, or whatever activity you feel will benefit from a shared space for a group of I2geo members.
What can I2geo groups do?
- Share a group space for accessing group tools and resources
- Collaborate on building and editing curriculum
- Use a message board to communicate about the group in general or about specific group projects
- Grow to include new members
- Highlight group curricula and activities for use or participation by the rest of the I2geo community
When you create a group on I2geo…
- You create a space for the work of a project group, including the following pages, which are organized for your group in a tabbed display:
- Home
- Messages
- Curriculum
- Members
- You take on the role of Group Leader, which means you can:
- Edit information about the group
- Accept new members into your group
- Control special content sections that display in your group’s pages

- Your group’s space gets its own web address for easy sharing and access.
