Video-conferencing on an iPad

Tom Whitby tweeted recently about ways to video-conference on an iPad. The link above goes to the web site Apps in Education, a blog that lists iPad apps by subject.

A week with an iPad in school

When the iPad was launched a few weeks ago, I smirked at the “fools” who queued up for days to get their hands on one.  “Sure, it’s just a giant iPhone”,  I muttered in condescending tones.  All the reviews on the web, in newspapers and in magazines were lukewarm too.  It doesn’t multitask and it has … Read more
