I have used Hangouts a few years ago with limited success. That may have been due to the dodgy wifi in the classroom at the time. There were still issues today but I guess practice makes perfect. It could be a useful tool to add to the toolbelt.
Working out the best way to utilise this with the learners, eg. with experts in the workplace around inquiry topics, etc will be something to ponder over the coming weeks.

Learning more tips and tricks/extensions that will help streamline my use of google;
eg the Toby extension to manage chrome tabs has been fantastic.
Google Keep was something I had dabbled with but not utilised to its full potential. Having the chance to explore this again and learn more about it was very useful.
Having the presentations over the course of the day available to refer back to is great. There have been plenty of ideas that I have already taken back to Parkview Parua and shared with the team.
Looking forward to next week!
Kia Ora Murray, Thank you for sharing how you use google keep. A challenge for you could be to create your own stickers through drawing and download them as jpeg or png and put into keep. I have shared a link to a post I have created about making stickers. I too find Toby mini useful with all the tabs we can sometimes end up with open to come back.
