ANSWER: 

Chat and Whiteboard: Hide Item

By default, when a chat/whiteboard room is created, it is visible to Students. You can hide it, however, so that students do not have access.

Step 1: From the Build or Teach tab, click the Chat tool.

Step 2: Click the down arrow icon next to the topic name and select Hide Item.

All appearances of this item have now been made invisible to Students. Likewise, to make a topic available again, select the Show Item option.
