Ability to create a group for a school, teams, etc where they can have discussion groups and collaborate on projects. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">f.

May not be a great place to find lesson plans. Several searches using a variety of search criteria yielded very few actual lesson plans. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">b. No place on your workspace to manage or maintain a blog. You have to go the groups/blog tab to enter one. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> // (c) Opportunities // <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">a.

Once you find a lesson or other resource you like, you can add it to My Resources or send it to a group to be reviewed and provide feedback. <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -0.25in;">// <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(d) //// <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Threats  // <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -0.25in;">// <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">(e) //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> // Ideas for the classroom // <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt 1in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l3 level2 lfo3; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">a. I would not suggest this be used for students. It is designed for teachers and administrators.
