[aisle] Google Chats

[Margo Newtown]

That makes sense!  We are an elementary school, so it is a different beast
than Middle or High School.  We have had students exploring Chats on their
own outside of classroom - and creating their own groups.  We go into a
student's account on that Chat and type in that this is Mrs. Newtown - or
the Tech Coach's name - and say that we are following and able to see
everything they type and post.  Works for elementary...
