Let’s Connect…on Schoology!

Are you in a Schoology group? No? Now is the time to join! Are you in a Schoology group but haven’t been active? Now’s the time to engage!

MN ABE Schoology groups are free online learning communities for practitioners working in Minnesota ABE programs. Connect with others from around the state to ask questions, share ideas, and find resources. Most groups have a dedicated facilitator who will post regularly to engage participants, but feel free to post your own questions or share ideas or resources at any time once you are a member.

Following are the MN ABE Schoology groups that are currently active. The access code to join each group appears next to the title. Directions for joining a group on Schoology with an access code appear after this list.
