I am a relatively new convert to Skype having only adopted it (by force!) late last year. I admit it! I had to access the technology for a course I was doing. However, once I started I loved it. It is the most fantastic tool for collaboration and easily lends itself to an information acquisition tool with a little creativity as well! How easy to go straight to the primary source with Skype? Imagine the students delight to have a video conference with one of their favourite authors. Rural students are less disadvantaged due to this inexpensive tool. The Learning Manager could come up with countless applications for learning in the classroom. It could be used as an effective communication tool with parents. I constantly use it to liaise with students on other campuses and will frequently use the instant messaging application whilst I continue to work on other things.
