The account – Chat Room works fine…

If you are blind like me, you can enlarge the font – which I would recommend.

 Heck even during this nasty storm the turnaround time was pretty good.

Far better than Vista chat.
I like the concept of using the Chat Room for a course, but honestly, in my opinion it does not work in the context of someone giving instruction or a lecture to a large group. Chat is Chat – a give and take, much like a conversation with one or more people.

 It is perfect for answering questions and adding comments.

To add more text than would fit in the blank field, just gets too cumbersome.

It’s been a nice feature to log on to a chat room and find the professor logged on and waiting to ask questions.

Now I know in the real world that would not always be the case..but it sure is convenient.

Back in the day when AOL chat rooms were the rage (maybe they still are) I admit that I chatted quite a bit with a fellow who lived in So. California.

I got to know him pretty well – eventually he moved out here and we got married.

That was eight years ago!!!
