Hadn't been home all week to IM with anyone- when I was home no one else was on. Finally had a chance to chat with William on Sunday and just finished a social chat with Dr. Green. I've audio chatted once before but don't remember how so anyone interested let me know the next time we are on at the same time and we will figure it out together!
I don't really care for IM'ing as a student but as a teacher I know many of my students at the high school setting would have loved to have occasional live conversations about events in the news, assignments, and school in general.
An English teacher and I (social studies) were blogging before blogging gained its name, ease, and popularity. Back then (~8 years ago+) we used Yahoo Groups and I was amazed at how it extended conversations and classroom learning outside of the school day. I prefer blogging just like I prefer the discussion boards over IMing. I can respond after some thought and at any time convenient to me. But to reach high school students today, IMing could potentially make a greater impact on some studeents.
