Week two

What do I understand about CHAT and what am I still trying to understand?

What I understand about CHAT is that CHAT is a triangle and to make sure that CHAT is working you need to make sure you follow all the chat components. What I need to make sure I am using CHAT correctly is a Subject, Rules, Community, Division of labor, and Objective. So far this is my knowledge of CHAT and other the basic knowledge of that I feel confident in. I do not have a full grasp of CHAT yet but very soon I believe I will. 

What terms of CHAT are easier for you to understand, and which are more difficult? 

The easiest concept of CHAT for me to understand is that there will be different genera. What I mean by this is that I understand the cultural and historical part of chat and "about how the objects, ideas, and genres we use reflect certain cultural values at a certain point in history"(Sheets 134). What I do not understand about CHAT is the activity and theory part of it all. I guess I am just confused on how they work.

 

How do you think you can utilize CHAT in this class? 

I think I can utilize chat in class by making sure I know what is going on in class. I think it will depend on the class circumstances and what we will be learning/ doing that day in class. But I feel like I can use CHAT in almost any of my writing sarcoma stances like a paper, project, etc.
