Cool Cat Teacher, Vickie Davis, points out Meebo Me, another way to add chatting functionality to a blog.
I love the idea of increasing channels of communication, so I am giving it a try here. However, I'm not sure how useful this will be for the classroom. In order to participate with visitors to the blog, I need to log into meebo, which I am certain my district blocks (I'll need to check on Monday).
Mostly, though, I'm just curious about chat. I rarely use IM, preferring the asynchronous leisure of email (remember when email was considered the fast way to communicate in writing). If I need real time, I would rather use the phone or Skype.
But lets give it a try. I would love to hear from anyone stopping by the blog.
