Chat room Purpose: To communicate with the teacher in real time FirstClass ED lets teachers set up chat rooms in their classes if they wish. A chat room is a forum for you to •       ask questions •       get extra help •       discuss topics that were introduced in class. Your teacher may also use the class chat room to have you •       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.
