Sync In: collaborative online chatting room

This is an unique chatting room which is quite different from 'TodaysMeet'. It provides the chatting area as well as the editing area. Each member in the room can observe other's typing, editing and is able to edit other's words(just like wiki). After that, you can save everything and review chatting procedure based on different versions. Finally, you can download it as HTML or Plain Texts.

It is an effective tool in the English language classroom because:

• for students, it is an information sharing room that everyone can view other's words and add or edit them. Tasks can be provided and left to students to finished by themselves.  It is a useful tool for students' self-teaching. 
• for teachers, it can record the whole process of the language teaching which offer valuable sources for teachers' self-reflection. 

In the class, we need work in pairs to visit 9 websites and made some comments on the it(what is it? and how to use it in ELT). I have worked with Maria and found lots of interesting and valuable tools for us to utilize in the English language classroom in the further. This is really very interesting task that can be used in the language classroom.
