ReadWriteWeb: Skype in the Classroom

I have not attempted or had the opportunity to use Skype with my students.  I know that some high school classes are utilizing this tool in their classrooms.  Students use it to connect with foreign exchange students that previously attended the school or the foreign exchange students use it to contact their families back home.  Some teachers have used it to bring guest authors into the classroom so students can interview them.  It has also been used for virtual field trips as well.  I think within a few years we will see this great resource in more and more classrooms.
