Chat room Purpose: To communicate with students in real time FirstClass ED offers the ability to create chat rooms inside the Discussions area for each classroom (depending on the privileges the administrator has set). A chat room is a forum for students to •       ask questions •       get extra help •       discuss topics that were introduced in the classroom. You can also use the chat room to have students •       critique a piece of work, whether published literature or a peer submission •       participate in an online debate •       participate in simulations and role-playing events •       present transcript-based assignments •       collaborate on a group task, such as a class newsletter, flyer, announcement, or event.
