CALIFORNIA MATTERS: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is just getting started giving away money — this week the organization awarded $2.25 million to Californians Dedicated to Education Foundation to support professional development. In August, CDEF worked with the state’s department of education and technology company Declara to start Collaboration In Common, a social network for professional communities to share tools and resources. The money from CZI will go toward Collaboration In Common as well as developing Declara’s personalized learning platform.
