I've never taught an online class before, and setting up a synchronous learning session for my students is one of the most intimidating aspects. I will actually attempt to do so next week, but in order to practice I set up a group Hangout with my wife, sister, and a friend. They were silly and wrote silly things, but it is easy enough to set up such a thing.
Anyhow, here is a link to the video of my terrible chat/video call on Google Hangouts.
I think if I use Google Hangouts with my actual class, the most difficult thing will be to keep the kids on the chat feature and off the video feature. Actually, this year the video feature will not be bad as I have a very small class (six people), but video chat will be overwhelming with a large class.
I'm sure I'll get more comfortable with more use.
