As a follow-up to last week’s hands-on activity-building session, this week we walked through chats in Flint. This included a comprehensive overview of what chats vs activities are, how they’re designed and optimized for use by teachers and students, and what capabilities and limitations they have. We covered 5 specific examples of chat use and shared additional resources on our [tools page](/content/tools/index.html).
