Asynchronous classroom chats with Neat Chat

Easy Collaboration Tool – Using Neat Chat in Education

Today, it seems archaic to think that it would be difficult to communicate with students online. There are so many ways to connect with them outside of school hours and asynchronously.

It creates an ad-free chat room / back channel easily, and since it was new to me I wanted to share some of its features with you.

Could be a nice alternative to Today’s Meet, especially with the private messaging features.
