SMART Sync allows you to chat with your whole class or a specific group. By restricting

your comments to a group, you don’t distract students with messages that don’t apply to

them. You can also send a private message to selected students.

You can view all chat messages, including the ones between students, in the History

area of the Chat view. Students can view messages sent to the entire class as well as

messages sent to the groups they’re members of.

Chatting with Students

You can chat with students in the Chat view in SMART Sync Teacher.

N O T E

If SMART Sync Student is in Hidden mode, students can’t initiate chat even if

you allow it. However, they can respond to chat if you initiate it.

T I P

Use SMART Sync’s announcement feature instead of the chat feature to send a

message to selected students (see Sending an Announcement on page 36).
