Using Google + In Class

Here is an idea that I may test out in class. I plan to place my laptop in front of the class and log into Google +.
Next I plan to start a Hangout (See picture below)

I will name the Hangout by the date and topic of the class.
I will enable Hangout On Air function which will stream the class live onto my Youtube channel. 
Step 3 I will copy the embed code from Google + into Blackboard

 Allowing students to watch on Blackboard. 

I tested out this idea in my classroom with nobody there. The following video was the result. The sound was not good. The cause of poor sound could be due to 1) my microphone on the computer, 2) Poor wifi network at school 3) poor performance by Google plus.


This post was updated on August 10 with the video of my experiment.
