Fear. It's there for all of us. About a lot of stuff. I'm afraid that I won't nail my talk tonight.

There are appropriate and inappropriate times for talking, and to get students to adhere to these boundaries, clear expectations must be set. Here are 12 ideas/strategies to try when working with a chatty class.
