[Moodle] What the kids chat about

[Adam Barbary]

Update, only Admin can do this. You cannot access the message write  
box from the class list, only from user tools in the administrator  
menu. If you go via the class (even if you are the Admin) you will  
only see activity related to that class. Pity, I would have liked the  
teachers to be able to monitor their own students, but there is no way  
I'm giving them admin status...
