GOOGLE GOES BETTER

TOGETHER

PresenterPresentation NotesWe all know there are some really cool Google Apps, right? Start by saying that to get the best out of Google Apps, you have to use them together.We can use Gmail to chat, make voice calls or even have one-to-one video chats for collaboration.We can use Google Drive to create, edit, share and collaborate in real-time on documents (tell story about editing Sarah Allen’s short story submission in real time with her).We like Google Sites too, because it’s a place to collaborate.And then there’s that Blogger.And what’s with that Google+ thing that folks keep calling a ghost town? I kinda like ghost towns.Kinda feels like we’re in Google’s closet, doesn’t it? And they haven’t cleaned it out in like… ever.So back to my main point that I want you to take away… GOOGLE GOES BETTER TOGETHER.

This is lame, I know.

And this too.

And me!

PresenterPresentation NotesGoogle+ …. isn’t that a ghost a town folks have been talking about?

GOOGLE GOES BETTER

TOGETHER

PresenterPresentation NotesSo, let’s say I login to Google+I create an Event, it’s going to be a Google+ Hangout On AirI invite people, and as they respond to the invite it adds it to their Google CalenderI can also post about it on our Google Site or perhaps in a Blogger postI can store and share any relevant documents for the Event in Google Drive, and choose to share these files upfront or after the meeting has startedJust before the Event starts, email reminders will be sent out to the attendees through GmailOH, and since it’s a Hangout On Air, that means it will be broadcast to YouTube as a live stream—which I can embed anywhere across the web
