The Chat Room As Dr. Barry Mowell of Broward Community College once put it, "One of the most effective vehicles for wasting your time and interacting with pre-pubescent or otherwise immature, rude people who frequently engage in gross self aggrandizement and ill- mannered behavior would be the internet chatroom." When I read that six months ago, I ventured into a chat room for the first time. I found that a chat room can be quite addicting. I have since chatted on the internet
Internet Chat Rooms missing works cited Over the course of the last several years I have explored several on line communities such as intimate adult chat, travel, dogs, trivia, and writers. Mostly I was curious about what draws people to chat rooms and what benefit, if any, is derived from their going to chat rooms.

Lesson Planning and Teacher Chat Rooms The nature of research and discovery of a topic at one time used to be complicated. Going to the library, searching through piles of cards that were categorized and confusing in itself.

How would I have ever found what I was looking for! I could brows through the high school
On May the Twelfth 1933 president Franklin Delano Roosevelt made the first of what would come to be known as fireside chats. During this chat he spoke to the American people about the recent banking holiday and what actions where to be taken to prevent the banking crisis from worsening.

Roosevelt is saying many things in this speech, first and foremost he is re-enforcing the
Chat rooms in today’s society can be a good and bad thing. First off what is a chat room? A chat room to me is a place where you can go and talk to people about different things. They have them from preteens up to adults. It is very easy to get into the rooms no matter what age you are. There is no real way for anyone to check if you are of age when using a computer. This makes it simple for me or anyone to get caught up in something that I shouldn’t be doing. To get connected to a chat
My First Chat Room Experience Perhaps some of the most amusing sites to visit on the Internet are the online communities.

Online Communities - Chat Rooms and Discussion Boards To those who have never experienced an online community they may seem pointless, a waste of time or simply childish. However, for those that have expanded beyond the traditional means of communication such as, talking on the telephone or conversing face-to-face, online communities offer a new and exciting means of communication.

In 1963, Lejeune et al. introduced Cri du Chat (CCS), a rare genetic syndrome that results from a partial or total deletion on the short extension of the 5p (5p15.1—5p15.3) chromosome. This chromosomal loss results from a “de novo” mutation (parents have a normal karyotype) and causes altered brain development, resulting in microencephaly and delayed psychomotor development (Mainardi, 2007). Though CCS is rare, it is one of the most prevalent chromosomal deletion syndromes (i.e. incidence is 1:15

(IM) services, chat rooms, blogging sites, social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook, and online classrooms/school groups. I intend to discuss three of these types of online communities – chat rooms, social network sites, and online classrooms/school groups – and look into the pros and cons of using each of these. First, I will talk about internet chat rooms. A chat room is a site where users can talk live to other users. Users are online at the same time and can “chat” back and forth
For my first deaf event, I attended the deaf chat in East Hanover. It takes place on the first Monday of every month, and it seems as if the same people go every month. When I first walked in with my friend Nikki, we were unaware where to go because the place was almost completely empty. Through a glass window, a woman signed to me, “Are you here for the deaf chat?”. I eagerly signed back yes and walked around the corner to meet who I learned to be Abby. This was when I realized one of the benefits

We fingerspelled our names and explained that we were American Sign Language students. After he introduced

These Fireside Chats were much appreciated by the American People and got the public involved in politics and the government
For my third and final deaf event, I attended the Deaf Chat Night located at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, MO. At this event, I met and conversed with several Deaf individuals and other students who are learning American Sign Language. At this event, I felt really comfortable conversing with other people because I understood most of what was being signed, and if I didn’t completely understand what a person was signing, I was able to ask for the meaning and fully engage in conversation.
Lejune, Cri-du-Chat Syndrome is the production of a deletion in the short arm of the chromosome number 5. Cri-du-Chat Syndrome has a number of symptoms, but the distinctive feature is the cat-like “mew” that infants produce, which is what the syndrome is named for.
