Google Hangouts can be used to video chat with up to 9 people at once. Anyone with a Google account, a webcam and microphone can use the hangouts with just a few simple steps. Educators have found a variety of ways that Google Hangouts can enhance their student learning experiences. Mary Beth Hertz recently wrote about How Educators and Schools Can Make the Most of Google Hangouts at Edutopia.com. A film school uses hangout to broadcast their classes online so that absent students can catch up on what they missed.
