Hangout Thanks!

To those of you who gave me 30 minutes of precious after hours time to meet and share, I appreciate it.  While nothing trumps face-to-face, a video-enhanced meeting where I can see faces (although not all in the room unfortunately) and hear voices helps me feel connected.

It so happens my colleague at TIIE, Scott Thompson, just shared some advice with resources and links about how to use Google Hangouts in the Classroom.
