179 - Android... For The Win!

Kim & Juan are back to discuss a new addition to Google Streetview and scheduled updates in Google Apps. Android had a big week with new functionality in the mobile versions of Slides and Sheets, an update to our favorite coffee app and a leak of about the new devices that you can expect on September 29th, which prompted Kim’s internal struggle. We discuss Pixiclip and Lensoo Create for screencasting in the classroom and apologize for the show cutting out during our last segment. Be sure to check out the show notes for what was missed!
