Google Mobile Apps Demo

Brandy Thatcher demonstrated mobile apps for iOS. The group discussed the Google apps available for both Android and iOS. 

As you might guess there are many apps available for Android. You can visit http://www.google.com/mobile/android/ to learn about them. 


There are several apps available for iOS (iphone/ipad) and you can visit http://www.google.com/mobile/ipad/  and http://www.google.com/mobile/iphone/ to learn more about them. 

The group demonstrated Google hangout and worked with connecting via tablets to a hangout. One of the most challenging tasks was finding each other through the invitation search in the hangout. The hangout worked very well and is a great solution for doing web conferencing via tablets. The iOS version of hangout works through the Google+ app and it does lack a few of the features, such as, special effects and screen sharing.
