Video Call in Google Hangouts

Tonight I did a video call on Google Hangouts with my friend Stacey Hampton.  It was actually fun...though I do not like seeing myself on camera.  The way the iPad camera was positioned definitely is not flattering! LOL!

I really hate talking on the phone...and I've never had a Facetime call or video chat that I've initiated until today.  But it was actually kind of fun.  We talked about some questions we each had about this class and our homework...and we talked about other stuff not related to this class at all, like about Stacey's birthday tomorrow!  Happy birthday Stacey!  :)

I think video calls could be very beneficial to my professional learning.  I could connect with other art teachers and we could talk about things our students are learning in our classes.  We could show artwork that our students have created, how we set up our room...the possibilities here are endless! 

I hope to be able to connect my students with another art class and maybe collaborate on some artwork together.
