I have been attempting to find a good chat window to use with my class blog and wiki but the gadgets that came with the programs were not very useful for my purposes. I may have found the solution with a program called Yaplet. Students click an icon, type in their name, and begin chatting real-time. The chat is saved and continued when a new session is begun. Now my students not only have the ability to read and respond in the comment section but in a chat window as well. And both are saved for further study and review.
adv. To an exceeding degree. Using the abundance of web tools to build student interaction and cooperation in a high school literature classroom. And have fun. And maybe even learn something.
