Google Hangouts on Air can be a useful storytelling tool

[Phil Shapiro]

Hi CTCNet community,

  Last week I came to understand how Google Hangouts on Air, a free service, can be a useful tool for
web interviews -- and the storytelling that can occur via such recorded conversations. Google Hangouts on Air
can be recorded to one's YouTube channel, creating a quasi Charlie Rose kind of interview.

   for example, see

  and

       The attractive titles come from a free Google Hangouts app called Lower Thirds.

            You can have up to 10 people talking in a single Google Hangout.  My next goal is to try to have some meaningful Google Hangouts with some other educators here in the DC-area -- and elsewhere.  If this is something you'd like to participate in, thanks for sending me an email telling me more about your interests in education, technology access and related topics.
