Google Hangouts/Hangouts on Air

While attending TeachMeet KY a couple of weeks ago, I attended a session by Donnie Piercey on Google Hangouts, which included Hangouts On Air.  I've always been intrigued with Google Hangouts, but have never really attempted to participate in one.  Little did I know all of the tools that are available in Hangouts.

Probably the most interesting thing I saw was Hangouts On Air, where your Hangout is broadcast live for everyone to see.  At the conclusion of the Hangout, the video is automatically uploaded to the user's YouTube account.  You can just hear the gears turning in my head thinking of all the possibilities this has for short PD sessions, mini-meetings, and breaking down classroom walls.

I'm looking forward to "playing" with Hangouts and discover even more possibilities to make classroom instruction even better.  If anyone want to "Hangout" with me, feel free to contact me.
