We use Skype at home already. My youngest daughter doesn't have a cell phone yet and we cancelled our home phone number. So she uses the Skype phone service to check in with us every day when she gets home from school.
We also use Skype to talk with my husband when he is on a business trip. We Skype every night that he is gone. It is a much better form of communication that just the phone. I really like seeing him and he really enjoys seeing us - facial expressions or examples of what happened that day - rather than just descriptions.
My nephew lives in Stockholm, Sweden and I would love to connect with his school so we can exchange information and ideas with students in another country. We Skype with him personally but not yet at school.
I love many of the ideas in the article 50 awesome ways to use Skype in the classroom. Connecting with anyone (parents, researchers, authors, real friends, virtual friends) who might have something to contribute to a student or to the classroom. I've got to write that grant for headphones!!!!
