Get ready!
A collaboration between many school counselor bloggers across the country is coming together to offer a new experience for many of us. During National School Counseling Week, Feb. 4th – 10th, there will be nightly presentations hosted on Google Hangouts (there is opportunity for participation with this platform) and streamed live over YouTube. You can see the schedule posted above for topics and presenters. All will begin at 8PM EST/5PM PST and last about an hour.
What do you need to do to prepare?
One thing that is handy is having a Google account, but you will be able to watch the live broadcast on YouTube through the posted/tweeted link without one. The link should be posted about 30 minutes before broadcast starts, but it may be closer to the start time.
Check out the Official School Counseling On Air Google+ Page for details, links to join, event listing, and other info.
Reading up on Hangouts may be useful prior to the event to ensure you can smoothly participate.
I am really excited about this and I look forward to the week!!

Great idea! I’ve seen hangouts, but haven’t participated yet. Look forward to this. 🙂

This is a fantastic opportunity and a great way to connect! We have started using hangouts with our students, I’m excited to see counselors get connected!
