I talked with my dad on skype today! I actually really liked it, I'd heard about skype before but had never thought about it really until it was assigned for us to do, and I got to chat with my dad, who I haven't seen for a while now, which was fantastic. I think that this could definitely be used in teaching, it would make it possible for lecturers of a small high school class to present without having to travel, so you could have the students talk to people from other countries, cultures, and backgrounds to help teach the concept you are currently working on. Imagine having a cooking class where a french chef is the teacher for the day!
