Chatroom
The chatroom functionality on mySecondTeacher allows direct communication with both classmates and the teacher within the primary channel of the platform. Serving as a discussion forum, this feature offers the advantage of preventing distractions commonly associated with external messaging apps such as Viber, WhatsApp, and Messenger.
By utilizing the group chat feature within mySecondTeacher, users have the ability to engage in conversations exclusively with their teacher and fellow students in the class. This exclusive interaction ensures that external individuals cannot enter the chatroom, fostering a secure and effective learning environment for collaboration.
It’s important to note that the group chat feature on mySecondTeacher is restricted to individuals with accounts linked to the school/college on the platform. Consequently, the feature cannot be used to converse with individuals lacking a mySecondTeacher account and access to the designated chat room.
Creating a group chat on mySecondTeacher is easy and straightforward. Simply follow these steps to create a new chat room for your students:
- From your dashboard, click on “Engage in Text chat with Students” or click on the “Chatroom” button on the navigation bar.
- On the left column of the chatroom, click on the plus sign (+) to create a new chat room.
- Type in the name of the new channel and add a short description of what the channel is about.
- Add the students you want to include in the channel. You can also make the channel private if necessary.
- Click “Create Channel.”
Once you have created a new chat room, you can start communicating with your students instantly. This feature is particularly useful for group discussions, clarifying doubts, and providing feedback on coursework.
mySecondTeacher’s group chat feature allows you to communicate with your classmates and your teacher in the primary channel. Although it functions like an instant messenger, it is not designed to be used explicitly as a messaging app.
It’s important to note that the group chat feature on mySecondTeacher is exclusively available to individuals who have an account on the platform. Therefore, you cannot use it to chat with people who do not have a mySecondTeacher account and cannot access the chat room. This restriction ensures that the chat room remains a secure environment for learning and collaboration.
