SKYPE in Learning

Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls to other users within the Skype service are free, while calls to both traditional landline telephones and mobile phones can be made for a fee using a debit-based user account system. Skype has also become popular for its additional features which include instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing. The network is operated by Skype Limited, which has its headquarters in Luxembourg and is partly owned by eBay.

    I have read the similar posting to this but different topic. I always said, one thing for sure related to technology for education issue is that we are surrounding by many kinds of technology, but they are not applicable in our education because of many urgent limitations, e.g. the availability of devices, bandwidth, etc.
    We should figure out the solution for this...
