The section about the different types of learners and suggestions on how to deal with them was great. 

I plan to share this suggestion with my students to setup chat and feedback norms

• These recommendations apply also to composing  summariesof discussion forums.
• Introduce  your contribution with a short summary of your understanding of the  focus of the discussion  forum.
• Keep  your comments to the point.
• Focus  your contribution on your analysis of the topic, your reaction, and  your opinion, as well  as your willingnessand openness to understand other participants.
• Keep  sentences short and to the point. Be friendly, informal, and  concise.
• Use  action cues or emoticons to communicate to support non-verbal  communication.
• Use  subject lines that are clear, specific, and concise.
• Proofread  your response for grammar, syntax, and clarity.

The idea of posting a biography is very good. I also like the idea of maybe doing a video bio for my students. 

I learned a bit about managing chat room with students. At the moment since our school district is going online. I have decided to utilize google chat and hangouts to have students contact me as well as email.
