A tool that I recommend to use in classroom is Google Hangouts. This magnificent tool is use to communicate everyone in the classroom; teacher(s) and students. There is a lot of ways in which Google Hangout can be use in the professional and education world. It’s like having Skype, SMS, Microsoft Office, etc. all in one place.
Here there are a few ways in which Google Hangouts can be use provided by the article “7 Ways to Use Google Hangouts in the Classroom” by Alice Chen.

- Form a virtual book club; people can share with each other books to read, and discuss the books they are reading at the same time.
- Participate in a mystery hangout; two classrooms set an online meeting to try to figure out in which place the opposite classroom is located, they have to give clues and questions can only be answered by ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
- Rethink project presentations; this tool give students and teachers different ideas that they can do to make the presentation more interested by putting out there how a presentation can be fun and creative.
- Work on projects together; classes that are studying the same class subject or topic can share and give ideas to make a project together that can help them and even the school.
- Invite guest speaker; if the teacher or students want to the class to learn more about a topic, they can invite someone that is dedicated to that topic.
- Go on a virtual field trip; people can connect to a live streaming of an event, and even can be watch afterwards whenever the person wants to see it again.
- Collaborate with your PLN; Google Hangouts can help educators that use social media like Twitter by providing a way to share ideas and learn from each other.

Nice blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Appreciate it
Thank you! The design theme I choose it from the different themes that WordPress Sites provide.
These are really great ideas in on the topic
of blogging. You have touched some nice factors here. Any way keep up wrinting.
Thank you so much!
Google Hangout sounds GREAT! All the ideas that you proposed can be so useful, and I cannot wait to use them in my classroom. I would never think to use Google Classroom for a virtual field trip. When everyone is live-streaming together from different places, it can still feel like the class is together. Definitely would take the “getting students lost” worry out of the field trip.
Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it, and that it can help you in your classroom.
