Date: 2012-12-05

On one level, Google+ Hangouts are a lot like using Skype, but gives you a number of extras that make it a very compelling product for research & student collaboration:
  - Video Conferencing
  - Document Co-editing
  - Desktop Sharing

Exercise:
1. Log-on to Google+ at the same time one of your friends is online, and experience a Google+ hangout for yourself.

2. Open a Google Doc during your hangout and collaboratively edit a document together.

3. Share your screen with your partner.
