skypeing in the class room

In the Blogg H1N1,Skype, Anne Smith was blogging about how kid's in her class were sick and skyping in to the class.I thought that was so cool that the kids could do that, because make up work stinks . It is horrible to have to do all your home work from that day you were sick, and you have to do all the learning by yourself . Mrs. Smith told her kids in her class about it and she was surprised about how willing they were to do it. Again and again technology is coming up in our classroom life ,we can be "In the class room" and not have to be in the class room. I think skype is very cool my family talks to my brother in Missoula, Montana with skype. Now we can use it in the class room too. I think it is kinda scary how technology is taking over our life but at the same time very interesting and exciting .
