I like Skype for personal reasons. I like the fact that one can make free long distance phone calls to individuals who have Skype. If you have a webcam you can see individuals as you speak.
As for Skype for elementary users if it were not for thier disclaimer that it is not a cite for a younger audience as they in some cases have adult material on thier site, it would be a great tool. Students using a webcam could speak and learn from students in other cities, states and continents. It makes the idea of "pen-pals" obsolete. Students could have a "web pal". Imagine a student learning from a student in China and both being able to show each thier information, picture, objects, etc. If both students had Skype the call would be free or the cost nominal.
Also, all learning would be real-time! Eastern, Standard, Central and International time might pose an issue but it would be workable.
It's so user friendly. I love the phone or yellow page feature. You can search for people who use skype and add them to your contact list.
