I don't think educators should try to match the technology used by students but at least try and understand the technology the students are using. This is so you can relate to them and if the opportunity comes up you can use some of it to teach.

I don't believe online chats are useful in the classroom i think they would be more of a distraction then anything. Students would more and likely use it to talk about something else.

I believe text based instruction would be useful for students who are shy or learn better by reading the information. Face to face allows the student to be able to ask questions on the spot and make a real connection between the two parties.

I think it could help some for students who want to listen to the information given more then one time. Could help to go over a few things for better understanding.

I believe video games could help you in studying that is if the game is based on some form of a educational value. They have some games that actually help your brain become more sharp and process different information faster. Also games can stimulate the mind in ways that other things can not. If i had kids i would let them play games for many reasons like stimulation of the brain and some educational value can be gained.
