In this age of connectivity, parents and colleagues often expect more immediate access to teachers. Teachers frequently give out their personal cell phone numbers because email doesn’t always cut it. But what if you don’t want to give out your personal phone number? What if your personal phone is already overwhelmed with work-related calls? In this webinar, Chris Casal will explain how to use Google Voice, a free service within the Google Apps suite that ties a separate Google Voice phone number to your email. He will show how to route any incoming calls either to a phone of your choice or to a Google Voice voicemail. He will cover how to check your messages via GMail, see a transcript of the voicemail, or return the call from within the Google Voice Web interface. Come discover a great way to provide a phone number without giving out your personal number, and gain the ability to call, text, receive calls, and listen to voicemail – all from within your browser window.
