Cross-building collaboration with Google Spaces

Talking and collaborating with teams in other buildings can be one of our most productive strategies for professional growth. But when?? Noblesville is thirty-two square miles. We can't zip over to each other's classrooms for five-minute chats. One solution is Google Spaces. A Google Space is a central place where people can share files and stay connected. ICYMI, NHS Journalism Teacher Sam Deane recently shared how she uses Google Spaces as a substitute for Slack with her students.
