The Chat Module
It is difficult to imagine the master artist being talkative while painting the masterpiece. As we are not Leonardo, however, some of us may need to talk while working on our humble drawing. And your need is justified if you are engineers working on a prototype anti-gravity machine as you will have a lot to discuss... (make sure you use the password!)
Can you think of any chalkboard activity carried out in total silence? If not, you will find the chat module somewhat essential. At least, you may attempt to play Pictionary when your creativity runs out.
As the native iChalk document saves the transcript of the chat module as well as the board content, you may revisit what went on line by line during the session, and try to grasp a deep undercurrent which you missed during the heat of collaboration.
Draw a cartoon and run an impromptu contest for the best caption!

The small round button in the chat message compose area is for recording and sending a short voicegram. Click on the gray button (or Escape key if your cursor is in the message compose area already) to start recording. The button will turn red. (The maximum duration is 10 seconds. Make it brief and to the point.) At the end of your message, just press the button again to stop recording and immediately send the message. You can not un-say what you sent. Unless you stop it yourself, it will automatically truncate at 10 seconds and send it away. Remember that this is not intended as a substitute phone.
