EdSpace: The Social Learning Network. Any time a teacher is in need of support, advice, or new ideas, they have access to a global community, on-demand. Powered by serendipity, EdSpace isn’t about the popularity contest of other social platforms. Instead, it’s about dedicated educators learning, laughing, and supporting one another — transforming the way we engage with the work, ideas, and each other.

Here’s how it works:
The LiveGuide is your homebase on EdSpace. When you sign up, you start with a few channels: one that’s only visible by people at your school/organization, and others that everyone on EdSpace can engage.
From there, browse the Guides, adding Channels to your LiveGuide that interest you. Because your LiveGuide is fully customizable, you can add, rearrange, or remove Channels at any time.
On Channels, you’ll find video Posts, limited to 3 minutes, that delete 1 week after their last interaction. Why? Because teachers don’t have time to join a conversation from two years ago that’s gone cold.
Here are the key features of EdSpace:
Video Posts: short (less than 3 minutes) and temporary (disappear 1 week after last interaction), Video Posts serve as conversation catalysts, driving connection on EdSpace
Channels: topic-specific, interest-based home for Posts; most Channels are public, but private Channels give access to only certain people (like colleagues at your school or organization)
Guides: groups of Channels curated by organizations or conferences and/or centered around particular topics or formats
LiveGuide: personal and customizable list of Channels (i.e., your homebase), where you can add or remove Channels whenever you want
Alerts: push notifications for people you designate, when they post or go live
Post-it Board: a text-based way to ask questions on a Channel
Advanced Filters: Using filters on each channel, YOU decide which posts you see based on what you’re looking to do. Need an idea from an author, with 50k Twitter followers? Simply apply those filters and only posts that apply will appear. Or looking for advice from someone just like you, in your district? Again, apply and engage.

Leveraging short video posts, EdSpace makes it easy for educators to ask questions, get answers, share learnings, test ideas, and build relationships that celebrate their unique interests, expertise, and superpowers.
