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. I just learned of one today that I wanted to share with you that reminded me of my AOL chat room days. The website is called Neat Chat.

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