Thing 3 and 4

I signed up for skype a while ago, but today I actually made a call after Andrea contacted me! I had to use my daughter's computer with a mic and she had to help me get it working so Andrea could hear me. After that all went well! We only used audio since she was on a headset. I could see using this in a classroom to talk with classrooms across the state, nation, or the world for different topics. Learning a foreign language could be fun while trying to talk with a student whose language you are learning as they learn English. The reception and mic capabilities would need to be good so everything is clear. I could see using Skype to talk with someone about OT issues in a different area. My son used it at work to talk to someone in Germany about a physics question he had!
