Hey friends! I’m so excited to finally share with you what I and many others have been working on tirelessly to release:

Hangouts in an instant: Video chat without downloading a plugin

Starting today, we’re rolling out an update that makes it easier than ever to start Hangouts video calls with your family and friends! You’ll now be able to launch Hangouts in Chrome without having to download and install a plugin. Just click to start the Hangout, allow Hangouts to use your camera and microphone, and you’ll be good to go!

This update is now available for all Chrome Dev and Canary users, and will be rolling out to all Chrome users over the next few weeks. If you’ve been meaning to connect face to face with your loved ones near and far, give it a try and get going with just a few clicks!

There are so many great proposals that are coming in.

 

There are so many great proposals that are coming in. Thank you all for taking part in this project, especially over the summer. 

I wanted to share the “map” of all of the proposals thus far. Check it out! 

(Please note: If more than one teacher at your school submitted a proposal, only one is showing currently. I will get that fixed soon.)

Project Roundtable: Why do we need a Google Educator Group (GEG)?

*Don’t forget to put your info on the planning doc*: http://j.mp/gegroundtable

*Roundtable Purpose*: The purpose of this roundtable is to explore all of the possibilities for what a GEG might look like, and how teachers and leaders could become a part of one in order to improve their practice. 

*Roundtable Audience*: The audience for this roundtable is any teacher or leader who is interested in knowing more about Google Educator Groups and defining what best practice might look like for these groups.

These are all of the folks involved in leading and creating Google Educator Groups (at least all of them that I can find)! I encourage everyone to circle them and learn from and with them as they continue to support teachers and leaders around the world.

Also, some of them will be joining me on a hangout talking about GEGs this Thursday. I encourage you to take part in that as well!
