12 Google+ Communities For and By Hawaii Educators

+Chad Nacapuy, who comes up with many of the ideas for our Google Rocks! Hawaii HOA shows, has listed here several Hawaii-created, educational Google+ communities for our Best Google+ Communities for Educators show tonight. I thought I'd add to Chad's list and post it here.

Are there others? Let me know and I'll add them to this list.

(Public communities are a click away to join, many private communities require a request to join.)

1. ACE 21  (Administrator Certificate for Excellence) - A collaborative space for Hawaii's educators. "The purpose of this G+ Community is to connect communities of all scales (classroom, discipline, school, complex, state, national and international) in a single, collaborative space.
