I love the idea of several Christian-oriented nerds discussing in a very informal setting tech of some sort that may be beneficial for churches, bloggers, missionaries, and any other kind of ministry out there. To do this well, we are going to have a weekly hangout every Saturday at 10AM EST that will be On Air for all to see live and then we will be posting the YouTube video on ChurchMat that next week. The idea behind it is we want to have a fun discussion of all things geeky and still empowering and equipping the Church to use tech better.
Here are the details:
Our First Hangout
Our first Hangout will be Saturday, 1 December, 2012 at 10AM EST and we will be discussing social media and Google+.
How You Can Participate
You can watch us live as we do the hangout. Go to our Google+ page and add us to your Circle and then look for the link to the live hangout. You can also ask us questions about the topic in the comments below as well as live during the chat. We will be looking at both!
What questions do you have for us on the topic of social media and Google+?
Tre Lawrence says
Great idea!!!
Marcus Williamson says
Well I do believe this would be a fun idea
Jeremy Smith says
I hope so!
Colleen Greene says
Very good idea. I have another commitment on the 1st. But… 7am PST on a Saturday? That is just brutal for those of us on the west coast.
Dustin W. Stout says
I know what you mean Colleen… I’ll be part of the discussion group every week and I’m on the West Coast. Luckily though, you still wont miss out since it will be immediately recorded on YouTube.
It is much more fun to watch live though… hope you can make the next one!
Jeremy Smith says
Haha! We will be using the On Air feature, so you will be able to watch it later.
Curtis says
Is there a way for the session to be recorded and shared somehow, for the benefit of those of us who can’t make it?
Dustin W. Stout says
The way Google+ Hangouts on Air work is that they are broadcast LIVE on YouTube and simultaneously being recorded to YouTube. The video is instantly available once the broadcast ends.
Dustin W. Stout says
I can’t wait!
Eric E. Kidwell says
Might not make this one, but I’d like to make future ones! Great idea 😀
