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.
