Greater Houston Education Collaboration (GHEC) is a community-based organization who focuses on an effort to get out of our "silos," to discuss collaboration opportunities amongst Houston's higher education and K12 institutes; or to simply share unique technology projects happening on various campuses.

2009 is an exciting year for the GHEC, as we are engaging in mobile learning solutions initiatives (see Houston Community College: Mobile Learning Video below) and enhancing our collaboration efforts with our, soon to launch, International Consortium of Collaboration Through Technology (ICCTT).
