_______________________________________________Ok all. Next question, is Google Hangouts or Google Chat what I need to use to have students remote into a classroom on a Chromebook? I read that Google Hangouts is being phased out, but currently both are options in the Google Apps menu. Chat looks much easier to navigate and in fact, when I start in Hangouts and then invite someone to join, it opens up a Google Chat window.....call me confused. Any light you Google experts can shed on this for me would be appreciated.

Subject: [CASL-L] Video conferencing for student at home with illnessHello all,
I have a student who will be homebound for around a month and possibly through the end of the school year with heart issues. She very much wants to stay connected with her classmates and teachers, and as the LMS, I've been asked what options our school can provide.
Has anyone successfully set this up in their schools and if so, could you provide some guidance, such as best platform to use (I'm thinking Skype), logistics of hearing the teacher as well as students during a busy class, kinds of equipment needed (teachers have Promethean boards connected to desktops without cameras or mics, and students have Chromebooks), etc.?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Best,
