Google Hangouts is Google’s version of Skype or FaceTime. It is a video conferencing tool. Imagine all the places your students could go or who you could invite into your classroom. This would even be a great way for parents to be able to see what is going on in the classroom. Maybe someone can’t make a parent conference or meeting, try a Google Hangout instead. What better way for students to practice their oral language skills and show what they know then scheduling a hangout with another class across the country or even across the world!!
Here is a great getting started guide for teachers and here are some good curriculum ideas. As with all of these tools I would be glad to help you implement 21st century learning strategies into your classroom.
