Last time I checked, dues are covered by a grant if you're an educator. The newsletter is great and I learn so much about STEM every time I read it. Every school should have one member of CSTA on staff - it is that important. (I also think every school should have at least one ISTE (<a href="http://www.iste.org" target="_self" title="">www.iste.org</a>) member on staff - it is another vital STEM organization that shares best practices.

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.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. 'Hangouts chat' now get an extension on the Chrome toolbar</span></strong><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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”.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span><br /><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><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Google has recently created an </span><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">extension for Hangouts</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> 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.</span><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></strong><b><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2.

Take snapshots while you are talking</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One 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. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><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" /></span></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><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><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven’t tried Google Hangouts before you really are missing out!  They are free with your Google account.

Creative Writing #12: An African Storybook Project report back from Princess Primary School in Roodepoort
