Chatting is nutritious for students, we all know that, but it can be a bit dangerous fs the diet is based on messenger or other chat rooms with no control.
Here’s a couple of examples where chtating can consist on a very healthy diet:
English Baby:

Easy and intuitive…and free
Paltalk: http://www.paltalk.com/
Very good interface. It requires the teacher’s monitoring in order to filter chatrooms. It allows video. This application has been successfully used by our colleague Sergio Morales in the experience The Starry Night Club where teachers could exchange opinions, experiences and feelings. Thanks, Sergio!
