Google #24: A great feature in Blogger – Schedule your blogpost

1:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">One of the really useful features that  blogging platforms, and definitely Blogger, includes is the ability to write a post and then schedule when you would like it to be published.  I haven't used this much in the past, but now, writing about it, I can see a lot of advantages to using this feature.  I thought I would give a quick outline here on how to do this. 1. Write your post in the normal manner using the new post template and give the post its title. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcQ_uOYG4GieTJcW3np1XRoitytYsjTValAF1u6cmBfnf3VxCT3B7vb4e6xD_f2wqHqpDBix_L7bQ3fFIC3VSVEtN0kOUElwl3P4PZHiYE646HCdu3y4jKPpF5mv1Z-pFR3AmhN6-DQs/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLqLigbqss1C97wIGYBgJ6vAOKQhrsoywu5jiy_bxbkS_pgEcptjamqccSte70MUD924OvzZlN95uvUAKYZJdwnx7XdSXymLo9nr4hIvyoi1eBlYlzzPxFsm2uu41baGIckYPiX01wgo/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="295" /></a></div> 2. When you have finished look for the word Schedule on the right side and click on it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdUk3RNnr4Js0rnOcLYNJ8_ln6y4aJdsPuEcysQCuITylewQcYXrgkxpdbNGRLlA5lemcf8_uDu3MY9ipxvvX1cV9uAlx9HN6JZ_V7KNbyG07F3JWv9xoWCNXmdUX3dlWOhF1lI2Aq1MU/s1600-h/image%25255B7%25255D.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIloLPIicMnWwZw4KYjjDs_9JBWJKPcnMqtE0xjhv0SVScn_u0jw8JA1UPChA1yEqSb0NwgZGLmYw9CW_-RJ0h_HMz69A5JN4yEvKHZnDgjkx0bmRwDdyGv-eZ_JATJEfrGJ5xALrbcxI/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="302" /></a></div> 3. Click on Add date and time. Select the date and choose the time. (Note:You need to make sure that your blog is set to the time zone of your country before you start with it. That can be done by going to Settings on your dashboard and choosing Language and Formatting/Time Zone.) When you are done choose Done! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwxWGSxWooK4NAUaX8oe7twcRseYXq8-Z0CoFWfw2dtzrRTGRuipVUE8yJF6HXP6aCmcAnH49bRtOPcZ9B2Y_zH8qSEMrHkWptJubt65F1E4FVq1wAWK75HBsb4W_QkBNKFAArEbB8FsA/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="309" /></div> 4. Now you need to click on Publish. Under normal circumstances this would publish your blogpost to the web immediately – but you’ll get a pleasant surprise when you see the post only publishes at the set time on the chosen day. Wonderful! Try it sometime. </div>

Google #23: New additions to Google Hangouts– including an icon to take snapshots of the group!

3:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnH0nQVY1SuATmCRnzBRAgNJ-iNFnG6P2qeHf6R0eCP6Hb8ocs-5WowPWp_NC7vzIRawZ8sx5A1axY9xVQsrsoqjovf8pnsX1Hnp0fq7-jPy2K30jejBkvH0sxM5dn_NQgnWd_mwt3BNE/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="240" /></div> One of the Google features I absolutely love is Google Hangouts. They have incredible potential for the teacher in the classroom, for professional development purposes and for older students to use for collaboration. Google, of course, is always improving its projects and you never know when something is about to improve before your eyes, and this has proved true of Hangouts! Here are three new features that I have noticed. 1. 'Hangouts chat' now get an extension on the Chrome toolbar Chrome is such a versatile browser to use. My browser bar is populated with extensions which enable a quick and seamless browser experience which puts everything at your fingertips. You just click on the required extension on your browser bar and “it happens”.   <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIor24SwrdPd1fHb1YkN97Yl3QT3KzpTousXdnoDz2lUHU7k38KEcW77BHmlNllSh0VHHZ105PSL7FQ6QGJgn3KzdwqKhxBnujJStL16XJNUz9AJrJPqFDRbbPyfLzEgyO2AkTCIILXE/s1600-h/image%25255B11%25255D.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9QOn3zmw_5FYFcQLw3aMmn_3TnYOdm16kHOrDlrv-jchcqiQKg-G8zCZKyOikqYHnyfm1TBQz30ruLdgXLOe0urivHpCH3SQuNpgEeV0SUxi_Kct_PX_tdga2BkjVFwXDUnvw_VEWlyg/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="108" /></a></div>Google has recently created an <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">extension for Hangouts</a> called ‘Hangout chats’ and I have just added it to my toolbar. With this app, you just click on it and it opens a screen in the bottom right hand corner of your browser page for chatting to whoever is a member of your Google+ community. This reminds me of the Skype chat feature which I often felt was sadly missing with hangouts. 2. A new video launcher app for Hangouts Another new feature is a video launcher app for hangouts. This can be added to the Chrome <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoSEEa9hoGvXRoVZejvqHnXFLAiJiTbasrkKMvsVlBst5MhHq54G1fugNx_ETRplMP9fgR2RUmYKoSJMebPrGw0955h_f-Ak9Jyz4BCs8ymDRuV4HmNmxBK5FEiyS1Iy3CWpsh4USI_BI/s1600-h/image%25255B15%25255D.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="83" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZBBei95H8iw7e_cJhYOSkuMgj7W1aeFRNNRY-rrvMOByXMFHu24ZF0tWFMvURfMD76eFrmygJVeofcfSHrOCvay-LOjasISwfJfjeLqAyyxP_pw65g31t29PtxEMx2swIjQGulcGv10g/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="103" /></a>apps section of your browser on any device and it enables you to launch a hangout from there. What could be simpler! You can see mine on the second row from the bottom in the screenshot below. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhipie_sz1tmzQYq8wD71InBYCCP3GX-BmrPoeuGEnYg9m-ESbvc9jpUQQA3gcypPAkjTL3YQMDtcopSikgb0jUgnA_FvLiRz4TLt7UpZAcLMxYdzuejmVYanpZLQ5ynfZ3hbzm_viYvis/s1600-h/image%25255B20%25255D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvZg4efjkClb_leIfHIdwEyN6Na9W7oOqLD3trlpgRzPRRLJknIDYWDfceSQZklHOHUX2cQeSFk64qOThEY_yG7oW7wqS_Q0l6sLINjAg_6lXwVP4_Q8eUx4Ww3ChzrojyAehTBqmFMgU/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></a> 3. Take snapshots while you are talkingOne can have a lot of fun while participating in a Hangout, and the newest addition for this is the addition of the camera icon with the word ‘Capture’ on the left side.  I experienced a reunion hangout with buddies from the New York Google Teacher Academy 2012 on Sunday evening and this was a good opportunity to try this out. (This regular reunion is a fun time of catching up with news and views, and various teachers slip in and out of the Hangout as their time permits.) On the side bar below you can see the word ‘Capture’. Whenever anyone clicks on it it takes a photo of whoever is in focus but the awesome is that it lets everyone know so that there is no secrecy about it. Below you can see <a href="http://www.edtechwithgo.com/">JR Ginex-Orinion</a>, a Science High School teacher from New York, with his cute little daughter, Katie. He was preparing for her birthday party so we were singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her; and you can see that some of us captured snapshots. The camera icon at the side tells how many snapshots have been snapped and the little camera then settles on the thumbnail photo below the main picture showing who took the photo. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiij0jJBGeof_ViOMi-PzzZU5tdDCs5pKZQ4sqhEbDrk6F7hOQ29eLwydlj1oaDdMUAjZlLugEdOpKWy1Dnwv9qJyMljCFrXG9drkNPdkDuwJj61zng-RdZNoIs2yfH2yUC5o5Vg9U4-Ds/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="405" /></div> All the photos taken by anyone on the Hangout appear on one’s Google+ events stream afterwards and I particularly liked this one captured by <a href="http://yollisclassblog.blogspot.com/">Linda Yollis</a> from Los Angeles. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUn0ZyM7jwNuuZqTa9unSA5WL6-fGlA4ZexaZ1Oz-kLedLDl_pDTPRnQoNSHoVqPxxkr7SyjcKGitdIyzfmCf9eHS44nH-jzmpl6wF0sQ7E6sOvc05FjcybApMDLSx55hG8ZTu11lYeWI/s1600-h/JR%25255B3%25255D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="JR" border="0" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZXYCzIgtBxqZjR08HeCAgLac2IkfJ-tVvMkWzjjxshWAXmFmU5oNNyHzTJqMUzqMfR4GUuTsB2ibMechrLqo4EiaqVrHJdyIqoe62-Fc4BlBVry7Qm6zjGRtpkBxZOrD8-DWdPqy0yA/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="JR" width="411" /></a></div> If you haven’t tried Google Hangouts before you really are missing out!  They are free with your Google account. Try them!</div>

In the light of this I thought it would be great to end off the year with a SchoolNet short, free online course called USE GOOGLE FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.  This will be a three week course for SchoolNet Premium Members offered during November centring on three aspects of Google that could be useful to you in your professional development with your colleagues.   The suggested outline is: WEEK 1 (12 November): Get familiar with Google Chrome's AMAZING offerings WEEK 2 (19 November): Get to know Google+ WEEK 3 ( 26 November): Get the hang of Google hangouts   The reason I am calling this a Google For Professional Development course is because Google+ is restricted to age 13 years and older, and Google hangouts are restricted to 18 years and older.  Both these products however have  great potential for connecting you to your colleagues.   This course is supported by optional 'how to' webinars and offers a Certificate of Completion from SchoolNet if certain requirements are met. Please fill in the form below if you would like to join us. You will then be sent an email directing you to the course platform. Your introductions from the sign-up form will be added to the course platform so that we can interact and get to know each other. This course will be fairly interactive in Weeks 2 and 3 as we will be joining a Google + circle and participating in a Google hangout.   <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG9XNVNISkZYUzNybk84MDNaVVpudHc6MQ" target="_blank">Sign up for the Use Google for Professional Development course here</a> </div></div>

Today I want to tell you about some of my favourite extensions (all free) that you can add to your Google Chrome browser bar to make browsing a breeze! What exactly is a Chrome extension? Chrome extensions are free extra features and functionality that you can choose to add to your browser from the Chrome Web Store. Generally I don’t go to the web store to choose as it is quite overwhelming – I go for recommended ones by other teachers. All the ones I have added to date are by recommendation. The extensions generally sit in the top corner of one’s browser and you click on one when you want to use it. This is what my browser bar looks like currently in the top right corner. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6z9acHrm52wV0P4DPCWl4bLGHLqJRDyoklf8w_OUprW6HIK91yrJ2XZ0cGzzRlfYt0_xx5iRitEvAFxuAWJSJ8d2dRDd8M4OWjIz5AxIBZOo8-s4Nf1zy4a8aPU6NVuiH94VzHziwlfI/s1600-h/image13.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="37" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7mSOOBQiGXInqr-bECTDhioyxH7jZrRwVw3xl555goHHYRD1l1DXmObP3OIKbWF4aVdBPqsuTc97Aubc4msF_t_knSZ4lH1VvZ7K_FWuZlSBApo4BAIQwIoqkBPXVd_c4_oDUEejMWd4/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="440" /></a></div> I love the way Amy Meyer illustrates the Chrome browsing experience in a <a href="http://www.friedtechnology.com/2012/10/chrome-apps-and-extensions-preso-from.html">post</a> on her Fried Technology blog.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8qwYmTb8g0dRzE7MWdJa71Sx5Op1jTeqqhvkR5XGtgUsIxS27ysDwWiRodkSwRpThQGC_tQq-QLD0EYst2tC6CT8lxy7AOtoccGdVygvsGw4ARRFaQezABfkgy4GMqcSvlinDeBAIf3s/s1600-h/image8.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="image" border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAlQVdOWJE7_D2UXx8b1f7AYLHXWKSEX28HFJUn84C16l-aZgo5B_rjxTkXYXrd4PQt_DpF0Tkn5M7aUT3aelQ_grhM3YuY8x-1W1skq-JV8KhkK9646_7xK7FpI9_efEIKgB9CEOwso/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="493" /></a></div> Did you know? 1. The top of your Chrome browser where the URL is found is called an OMNIBOX because it integrates the URL bar and the search functionality. (You don’t have to go to Google.com first.) This is also the place where your Chrome extension icons will be added.  2. When you open up Chrome you have the option to sign in.  If you do all your extensions show, no matter which computer you  are using. Amazing!
