Skype is a great tool for connecting pelope in face-to-face real time. Before now, you could either talk on the phone to communicate with someone or email, but you could never actually see their face and emotions as they spoke. Skype has opened up a whole new world of possibilities. For example, in the classroom, students can use Skype to help with their education. If a student misses class because they are ill, they could be Skyped into the lesson. I know that my younger sister is in high school and her teacher has a set time every evening when she is on Skype for the students to ask her questions they may have about homework or upcoming exams. Not only can Skype be used between teacher and student, but it can also be used between student and student. They can communicate with each other on problems and tackle the questions together, as if they were together, but now parents don' t have to take the time to drive them. Not only can it be used for day to day problems, but it can also be used to connect all over the world. A foreign language class could use this to connect with a class across the world and they can speak in the different languages with the other students for real practice. I think Skype is a great tool for connecting pelope and it could have a beneficial place in education.
