Blog # 10- My technology tool
In my technology tool that I chose there are a lot of options that can be used with it. I like the fact that not only can I send messages with multiple people, I can also use Google Hangouts for video conferencing. The great thing about it is that I can use it for personal use and also for professional purposes. If I have a question that I need to ask my fellow co workers I can get a hold of them all at the same time so I am not having to call each one individually to ask them the same question. Once we are all together and the question is asked we can all discuss different options and put our ideas together to come up with the best outcome. This is also a great use because it is not time consuming. Instead of sending emails out to everyone, we can have a group discussion all in one setting. If someone that you include in the group is not currently in the conversation, an alert will go out to them saying that we were trying to notify them and then they can join in when they can. One of the best things about Google Hangouts is that it is free and all you have to have is a Google account in order to sign on. A lot of people use Google today so it makes it easy and convenient to sign up and get started.

This tool sounds like a conference call with a face to look at. I am old school so this new to me. I didn't face time much until my daughter went to France for 3 months. Is it difficult to set up the alerts and other tools within the program? I think this would be good tool for communicating with swimming officials. We are spread out from Elko, to Onterio, to Idaho Falls.Have you been using Google Hangout long? I ask these questions wondering how ling it would take me to get up to speed with it. We are almost done with this class I will be grateful for the coming break.
ReplyDeleteThe information that you shared about this technology tool gives me many reasons to sign up and use it to communicate with family and friends. I also think that this could be a great tool to improve communication with people who work in different parts of the world. When people can’t be in the same place to meet and discuss important issues that effects a company, this will be the best way to overcome the obstacle of time and distance. I think this technology is the future of many new jobs and it will require this type of communications finish daily tasks.
