Building on the previous workshop of Feburary 18, 2014, it is a continuation on the them of "Getting the hang of Google+ Hangouts On Air (G+HOA)". The workshop will start with a quick refresher on the basics of setting up and scheduling a G+HOA session and will move onto advanded topics and open Q&As. Topics will include the setup and use of G+HOA apps and functions, creative applications of HOA and future applications, including connected classrooms and helpouts. The second half of the session will be dedicated entirely to Q&As with a small panel of experienced HOA users fielding participant questions from basic how-to, to brainstorming creative solutions and applications. The workship is free and open to anyone interested in using HOA for traditional and non-traditional museum applications.
