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!
