everybody welcome back my name is mr. Campbell with mr. Campbell rocks calm Google always is
changing the names of things and they just changed everything again this past week from google
hangouts chat Google Hangouts Google meet now it looks like everything is just going to be either
Google Chat or Google meet anyway as you can see here Google Chat right is a message platform built
for teams so the way that we're gonna look at this today is the tutorial is for educators if you're
in the business world we copy a lot of things that you do in education because some of the
things work really really well and other things we do a little bit differently because they don't
work so well but this tutorial is for Google Chat for Education so what does it look like in your
mind you can think slack you can think Microsoft teams you can think GLIP it's kind of Google's own
version of an internal messaging system to work with teams now how does this look in your school
what does this look like in your school that's yet to be determined there is accessibility on
all electronic devices so iPads phones iOS and Android desktop species everything so all those
messages will come in clear and those messages stay even if you're out of the chat for a little
while or jump back in so let's let's jump in and let's look at it let's see what it looks like so
what you'll see here is I have my school team set up here and the principal and I were we're messing
around with it the other day when they made the changes and kind of push these out and so I've
created a channel or a room right that not not to be confused with a google meet room but a google
chat room they also integrate very nicely and we'll talk about that a few minutes I'm pretty
excited about this because what this allows a school to do is to create those virtual teams
with the teams that they already have internally in their school and all of those are safe too in
Google Chat it's a little bit different than a text message group right I can add and I can
upload different files images pictures I can go straight to my Google Drive and I can if I want to
Qwest everybody to jump on let's say let's meet in person and we can do a google meeting right
there and so let's look at what we have here so we have a four people that I have conversations with
obviously because we just got started with this so we've added four people but I created a test room
just to see what everything looks like so this is a Google chat message this is an image upload
this is something from Drive this is a meeting invite this is an emoji right those tools what
does this look like though what does this look like in your school well if you're a teacher
think about the team that you're on whether it's a grade-level team a department level team an IEP
team a mediation team or a remediation team a counseling team a leadership team all of those
things can be built in to a chat room and all of those can be ongoing at the same time all right
so what does this look like well we already have Google Drive so we have notes but there's time so
we don't want to pull out that big long file and we want to talk about something in between the
Friday's that we're meeting as a small team we can send those now into Google Chat we can add
pictures we can add images pictures and images of the same thing excuse me we can add notes
we can send those ideas back so some of the work that happens as we're going throughout
the day right in a school isn't necessarily set by a meeting time but then when we get to that
Friday meeting or that Tuesday meeting of that Wednesday meeting or whatever we're meeting as
a small team we can pull up all a time information and help guide us through the process of whatever
we're doing now let's look at what this is you can have as many rooms as you want so if I click
on these rooms are gonna be different rooms and different conversations that we're having with
some of our members of our school you can also set up BOTS to automate things so if things get
pushed in and I'll have a whole nother tutorial about the chat BOTS ultimately though this is a
beginning tutorial so what we want to do we can set our timer to mutiny difficut
notifications for a certain amount of time we can change those notification settings here
and I'm not gonna go through and read all of them you can look and see there we can change
them for mobile we can change them for email we can do smart reply we can do blocked different
things like that so we're gonna close out of settings now let's find a room or a bot if I
want to send a group message who do I want to send a group message to well let's say leadership team
obviously I would have to have that leadership team set up for it to message all those people
at the same time which I don't right now but if I just wanted a message one person Curtis my
principle it'll pull up people in my organization that I could then message that's a direct message
now if I want to create a room which I've already created right we can just do a test
room for YouTube and we would invite people to this room and we're gonna call this number two
because I already have one so I'm gonna create the room and you'll notice what will happen is
it'll come over here now I want to add people to that room and I would actually go and search
my organization or search my school and add that those invitees to that room and we can have those
conversations in that room if I want to browse rooms I could browse rooms that are part of my
school or my organization leadership have I been invited anyone in RMS leadership team I have if
I want a new thread in leadership no I don't want to create a new thread message requests
I have no message requests at this time that's as somebody has sent me a message and they want
to request a message back which we're not going to do that time now if I jump down here to the
people I won't spend a lot of time on people but if I want to remove that person start that person
turn notifications on or off I can do that right so obviously with my principal every time he sends
me a message I want to have a notification on my phone because he's probably got some
idea he's asking me to do something or wants to meet or we want to talk about something that we
want to do for next year different things like that okay I can block I can hide conversation I
can delete the conversation now leadership you can do the same things so you can star that you
can turn off notifications and you can leave so I'm gonna leave that one yep I'm going to that
room and I'm gonna leave the test test room for YouTube too we're gonna leave that room we'll go
there obviously these other ones I want to stay because those are real rooms that I want to be a
member of again I'd love to hear your thoughts if you're an educator and you've used teams I
know that just changed it was Google Hangouts chat and it was connected with Gmail and there
was a sidebar over there and you had to turn the chats on and off and different things like that
I'm just curious how you and your team would use this but if you're here that's because you're an
educator and you want to do what's best for kids when they are either in the building outside of
the building meeting with your own grade-level department team and that shows a lot about who
you are is that you're going online and trying to figure out new things and how to to better
serve your students and so for that I love you I appreciate you and I'm glad that you're here
