Skype in the classroom has a positive effect on students.
Students use Skype in the classroom to talk to a NASA represenative.
Schools buy books for their students to read. They then Sykpe the author so the author can talk to the students about the book they read.
Tere Alvarez, a teacher in Cancun, teaches students Spanish over Skype for 25 cents every 30 minutes and $30 a semester.
