Chatting with other XO people

You can type text to "chat" with your XO friends about your journey to school or about your favorite animal. You need at least two XOs to use the Chat Activity.

To start to chat, launch the Chat Activity from the Home View, and then choose My Neighborhood from the Share with: drop down list. Next, go to the Neighborhood View or the Group View and click on another XO icon, then choose Invite to Chat Activity from the menu. The invited XO then sees a colored Chat icon in their Home View, and clicks it to launch the Chat Activity and join the other XO's Chat Activity.

When you are playing with Etoys, you can chat with others using text or by talking near the microphone.

You can save the text from a Chat conversation by clicking the Journal icon (Keep).

If you want to search for a previous conversation, use the Journal.

What am I learning?

With Chat, you are learning to communicate with other people who can teach you many things.

Why is this important?

It's important to communicate with others to be friends with them, learn from them, and also to teach others.
