Over the years, Google has introduce a large set of tools which have been widely adopted in the education community, but slightly less so in the training community. Many of us have used Google docs, drive, blogger, etc in our collaborative efforts. More recently, however, Google released two tools which are gaining more traction. Google+ allows us to create a segmented communities for social and professional interactions. Google Hangout is a web-based video-conferencing technology analogous to Skype. Salim R. Rezaie has used Google+ in his education role at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio (UTHSCSA). He’ll discuss it and how it compares to other social media tools, such as Facebook and Twitter. Donald Hawkins will then demonstrate Google Hangout for us.
