- #4: Electronic Communication Teachers should discuss the chatting. Pros of Chatting Instant Fast Accurate Cons of Chatting Misunderstanding due to not hearing a persons tone or domineer Other people could be watching Can’t type all you want to say Types of Chat Internet Relay Chat, (or IRC for short) individual web page chat rooms Most chat rooms are mainly for entertainment and have little or no educational value There are different levels of supervision in chat rooms: open rooms with no one supervising electronic monitors that scan conversations for specific words and then issue automated warnings if they come across inappropriate language. Other sites have leaders who guide the discussion, or monitors who preview what people write before anyone else gets to see it. If people misbehave, these monitors or leaders can give them a warning or kick them out. The Great News In well-monitored chat rooms you can meet people from around the world who share your interests in a safe and non-harassing environment. You can communicate directly with people you might not otherwise be in touch with: teachers, community leaders, or experts. You can participate in an online community where you're not judged based on how you look. The Not So Great News Chat room discussions may become sexual or violent, or they may promote hate against others. Because some people feel totally anonymous in chat rooms, they believe they can act any way they want. Girls in particular may receive crude or sexual comments. Chat rooms are cruising grounds for pedophiles and other predators who want to make contact with young people. Because kids feel anonymous when chatting online they are more likely to speak honestly and conversations can quickly become intimate. Online relationships with strangers in chat rooms can lead to you being cyberstalked, sent pornography, or pressured to arrange a real-world meeting. You could become involved in risk-taking activities. Some older kids deliberately participate in online flirting or sexual chat. Chat room participants can end up hurting others. "Flaming," where you make personal insults or disrespect a person, is common in chat rooms.
