PD Opportunity - Google Hangouts
This is the same opportunity that Patty Parsons shared a few days ago:
Google Hangouts for Collaboration is being offered on mylearningplan.com on September 22 from 3:45-4:45. This is an ONLINE course, so you won't have to travel to BOCES. Here is the event description from MLP:
This
1-hour online workshop will introduce teachers and administrators to a
free, powerful, and easy to use tool for collaboration.
Why use Google Hangouts?
You can easily collaborate with colleagues from near and far. Collaborate with Instructional Specialists from BOCES, create learning opportunities with teachers across the globe, share resources with colleagues in other buildings, and enhance student learning experiences.
How can I use Hangouts in the classroom?
Connect with other classrooms from across the country or the globe. Meet with families who cannot make it to campus for a conference. Conduct help sessions for students and guardians. Coordinate with experts to virtually visit your classroom and share their expertise. Give student presentations an authentic audience.
What is Google Hangouts?
Hangouts is a video conferencing tool that allows 2 to 25 people to collaborate online. Similar to Skype or Facetime in concept, Hangouts has additional functionality, allowing seamless real-time screen sharing, text-based chats, and video meetings. It is free, easy to use, and works across all platforms and on all devices. No login is required to participate! The link needed for the workshop will be emailed to you prior to the start of the event.
