Overheard in the staff room
Why educators love CoLab
“LOVE this platform! Very easy to use. I like that you can share & tag resources in groups”
Grade 7–11 Teacher
“Finally, we have professional networking tools that are specific to educators! I have been using Facebook groups and Instagram to try to connect with teachers outside of my school but it’s a time suck and doesn’t build deep connections”
Grade 4 Teacher
“It’s really easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing! It took very little time to learn to use”
Grade 9 Teacher
“I set up a Space for our staff book study and the conversation kept going between meetings. No more digging through email threads.”
School Principal
“With so many new tech tools out there, especially AI, I am glad I can learn from other teachers in CoLab how to use them to my advantage.”
Grade 11 Teacher
“The resource section is already filled with so many useful lessons and supports for teaching. I can’t wait to see what everyone contributes over the next little while.”
Grade 3 Teacher
“Creating resources is super easy!! I like that you can filter resources by type, grade, subject, etc.”
Grade 1 Teacher
“The CoLab team actually answers when you message them, and they’re educators too, so they get what a school week looks like.”
Instructional Coach
“I am telling every teacher I know to join CoLab! There is no other place like it for us all to build on each other’s ideas and see what people are doing in other schools.”
Primary Teacher
“I love that everything is free! Thank you teachers!”
Grade 2 Teacher
“I really like the ability to join groups and make new discussions within them. It’s way more organized than other group forums.”
Elementary Teacher
“The free webinars are short, practical and led by people still in classrooms. I’ve taken something back to my students from every one I’ve joined.”
Special Education Teacher
“CoLab is the place to be! I plan to use this on a regular basis throughout the year to get new ideas and ask other teachers questions.”
Grade 11 & 12 Teacher
“CoLab is so useful for new teachers or teachers who are doing their placements. I’m going to build out my portfolio here and use it for job applications”
Teacher in Training
“Best PD in town! Connecting with other teachers who are doing cool things is all I have ever needed. I am so motivated to try new things. Thank you!”

You’re in it for your students. We’re in it for you.
Free forever, because support shouldn’t depend on where you teach.
“One of my favourite parts of teaching was learning design. Yes, even including making countless slide decks or late nights cutting and glueing. But whenever my small team went looking for resources or someone who had done what we were looking to do, we kept hitting dead ends. It was extremely isolating and discouraging. CoLab is what I wish we’d had. Tell us what problem we can solve for you!”
Ariella Racco, former middle school teacher and founder of CoLab
