Google Hangouts


So, during class time week two, if I am not mistaken, we learned about google hangouts and how to use them in the classroom, with classmates, and or with our Professors. Google hangouts can be used for work or academic purposes. We learned that this app allows for a group of people working in a project are able to collaborate in real time, to send, and accept hangout invitations and to schedule for future hangout meetings. I had a great time meeting with my classmates in class and working in the class activity about canvas related issues, parking related issues, and even IT related issues...it was fantastic. We had a blast during class time and learned at the same time. If you have not had the opportunity to use hangouts within google, do yourself a favor...try it out! You'll be glad you did

I have read some of the reviews on some of these and according to my findings it appears as though wix is much more reliable than weebly when it comes to creating a website. For my Instructional Design Technology M.A program at CSULA I am being asked to create 3 different websites at 3 different sites, and based on my research findings I think it would be in my best interest to focus on wix.com and google sites. Creating a portfolio to showcase ones academic, personal, and career-oriented achievements is a phenomenal and contemporary idea. I find that it would be in everyone's best interest to invest some time in creating a personal website. The website should be clean, informative, entertaining, yet, simple and easy to navigate. Once I come up with my thr...
