 Writing Points
- Harper is used for many kinds of meetings. The technology requested will help those meetings run more efficiently
- YAC has very little time to do the amazing job they do of getting our teens to be active in the community.  Change the location of meetings in order to view videos and skype or do google hangouts with non-profit organizations without having to request a location  for that purpose will make their job easier
- The overflow of chapel goes to Harper.  If the chapel experiences are videotaped, people in Harper will not only hear it, but will be able to be part of the experience via video screen.
- Daily agendas and service opportunities will be made available on the screen daily.  It will be a reliable, current account of the service and youth board opportunities available.

If you want to use Google Glasses, please download this app in your phones
iPhone version:

Android version:

After downloading the app, students should download the movie "Clouds of Sidra." It is a large download so many take a bit depending on their Internet connection speed.

The video "Clouds over Sidra" is also viewable in a web browser, but you can't move around to look at different parts of the scene as you can with the VR version:

If you downloaded the application and the movie, you will be able to watch it with Google Glasses.  Mr. Fryer has 20 available
