Skype

I have used skype before. It is an easy way for family and friends to communicate with each other. Skype allows users to see who they are talking to, like a real conversation in person except for the fact that it is on the computer. This could be useful in the classroom especially for students who were absent from class. If every student in the class had a skype account and knew how to work it, classmates could ask each other what they missed and get help on assignments that were confusing to them.
