Greetings:

If you use Skype in your language classes, or help faculty to do so, 
please leave a comment on our blog  
(http://www.languagelabunleashed.com) . 

A Christian Science Monitor reporter has contacted me about a story he 
wants to write on Skype in the L2 classroom, but his editor is not 
totally convinced that this isn't a passing fad. 

By the way, not even the powers that be at Skype really understand how 
their tool is being used in language education, so your comments would 
be helpful for them as well.

Thanks!


Barbara
