Independent School Educators network

connect - discuss - collaborate

After reading the guidelines below, please click here to create a new group.


1. You are welcome to create new groups, but please search the existing groups to make sure there is not already one that exists for your topic or school.

2. When you create a new group, you will see the screen below, and you will need to upload an image to represent your group. Usually you can find an image online, save that image file, and then upload it. If you need help with this process, please let us know.
Click this icon to upload an image for your group:

You do not need to change the "Group Address" box; it will just be the name of your group, without spaces.


3. If you want to make your group private, choose "Moderated Membership." Please note that this cannot be changed later; though you could just create a new group that is not private.



4. If you make your group private, users will see this message when they try to access the group. The person will have a link to request membership if that is an option you chose in the previous step.
