David Shattuck gave us a Slack demonstration:

• Direct message – convo between you and another person. It’s one of the main tabs. Click the “+” and people on the site will list. Nice feature is that you can include any # of people in the convo. Just follow the same steps to add more people to the convo. If you click the triangle by the “Direct Messages”, it’ll show your history.
• Channels – chat room dedicated to a specific topic.Click on the triangle next to Channels and you’ll see a list of the channels. Join by clicking on one. Administrators will add channels.
• Tagging is the ability to specifically notify someone. Use the @ symbol before their name in the message and they’ll be notified
• You can have built in phone calls from direct messages and channel. See Call button in top right corner. It can be a video call or audio. The call can be between multiple people.
• Emojis – mouse over the message and there will be emojis to choose from on the right- hand side.
• When a lot of people are on a message and there’s a lot of convo, it’ll indent under the initial message. It builds a thread of the convo.
• To add photos you click the paper clip icon. Paste from the clipboard or upload from your computer.
• To tag a channel, use the # sign
