Are you a K-12 technology director seeking a vibrant, organized space to collaborate, learn, and share ideas with your peers? MACE-KS invites you to join our online community at this Discourse invite URL..

Our Discourse site is designed to foster communication and collaboration among K-12 technology professionals across Kansas and beyond. It’s more than just a platform—it’s a hub for innovation and shared expertise. Here’s why you should make the switch from traditional email chains and listservs:

1. Organized Discussions

Emails and listservs can quickly become cluttered and overwhelming, making it hard to find critical information or follow conversations. Discourse organizes discussions into categories and topics, allowing you to easily navigate to the areas that matter most to you. Want to find insights on cybersecurity, professional development, or IT best practices? It’s all just a click away.

2. Searchable Archives

Ever struggled to locate an email with an important attachment or a key piece of advice? Discourse offers a powerful search feature that allows you to find past conversations, documents, and resources quickly—no more sifting through endless email threads.

3. Real-Time and Asynchronous Communication

With Discourse, you can engage in real-time discussions or check in when it fits your schedule. Notifications ensure you never miss critical updates, and the ability to tag members keeps everyone in the loop.

4. Community Engagement

The platform encourages collaboration and networking, giving you tools to ask questions, share insights, and crowdsource solutions to common challenges. With Discourse, you're not just communicating—you’re building a community of practice.

5. Customizable Notifications

Unlike emails and listservs that flood your inbox, Discourse allows you to tailor your notifications. Follow specific topics or categories and choose how often you receive updates, so you’re always informed but never overwhelmed.

6. Access to Experts and Resources

By joining Discourse, you’ll have direct access to other experienced K-12 tech leaders, curated resources, and a growing repository of best practices tailored to our unique needs.
