PPS Instructional Technology

Google hangouts has a lot of wonderful educational uses, but it can also be a big distraction.  One way to help minimize that distraction is to have students turn off the "Auto-launch" feature.  By turning this off, Google Hangouts will no longer launch every time a student logs into the chromebook. Now you can choose when you want your students to open hangouts in order to collaborate and share, instead of it being a constant distraction! Enjoy!

We enjoy sharing highlights of the great ways in which our teachers are using technology in the classroom. Today, we would like to share with you how Michelle Braat is using Google Hangouts to engage her students in learning while connecting outside her four classroom walls. ​ Click here for video (5:09 min). If you would like to get started using Hangouts in your classroom, please schedule time with either Jessica or myself. https://calendly.com/jwinstanley https://calendly.com/pmurray OR Visit us for June trainings or TechCamp this summer!
