A closer look at Hangouts Chat...& connections to Hangouts & Google Groups
I continue my review of Hangouts Chat (https://chat.google.com). In this exploration, I'm still not that enthused about the organization of Hangouts Chat...although it is getting better. I also noticed some "weird" connections to traditional Hangouts. I conclude with a thought that if Google really wanted to make this great, they would connect this to Google Groups and make an all in one collaborative suite for work/school. -

Technology in the Higher Ed Classroom of the Future?
A quick tour of the layout and connections of one of our newer technology enhanced classrooms here at the College of Charleston. I assisted in the planning and implementation of this classroom as we tried to create a learning lab that would prepare future teachers.
Sorry for some of the audio clicking in the middle of the clip.
I also realized that when I took my suit jacket off, apparently my tie looks like it belongs to a child. Next time I'll figure out how to look in a mirror first. 🙂
