I never thought I would have a Google+ account, partially because I was not completely sure what it was all about. Once we were told to make our own that's when the exploring began. Making circles to separate your friends and family was a great way to stay organized. Also, sharing your thoughts and even our own blog posts on our "feed" reminded me of Facebook.
Even though I have no played around with it yet, I think my favorite part of Google+ would be the live video chat. I have never seen something where you can have up to NINE people in one conversation! I like how you can click on their little pictures to so they will then be the "center of attention." I am excited to experience this with other classmates and have some fun with it.
YouTube on the other hand, plays a role in Google+. When professor Ross showed us how the live stream video chat links to your own YouTube channel it was definitely something we all did not know about. I think it is very convenient if you are trying to do a project that involves a video and it automatically uploads so your professor can just click the link to your channel and boom! It's there!
It's amazing how big of a roll technology plays in our lives today. It is useful in the educational world along with many other environments. I feel that Google, YouTube and all of these other websites we have been learning about in class are going to become huge and soon that is all that will be used in the classrooms.
