This article touches on how a middle school in Minnesota has added Skype into their arsenal of tools to assist students with disabilities.
I think this is a great idea. Students with disabilities cannot always attend class, and the school district is legally held to providing the students with free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment. By using this free Internet tool, the school is able to keep this student connected with the classroom and teacher, while accommodating her needs.
We are, indeed, living in a technological age, and we need to use the available technology to benefit students.
