Google has created another fantastic tool that just may be a
wonderful tool for principals, teachers, parents and students. The Google Helpout will help you to access
professionals who are skilled and available to answer your questions. The fantastic thing about Google Helpouts is
that you are live by way of video and in real time. You can also schedule a meeting where you can
get your questions answered or access the coaching that you require. This tool became available on November 5,
2013. The Helpout is a great way to get the solution that you need or to hear a
different perspective on a problem that you are trying to solve.
What is Helpout about?
Google helpout offers live video that will give the user a one
on one expert to help and offer advice anytime of the day. The expert can be an
educator, businessperson, consultant or electrician. That fact that this person is live is a
relief for the person who needs help right away. This is a service that is not provided
by other social media websites. Google
staff believe that people from all walks of life will appreciate the
opportunity to get help any time of the day.
