ECE+and+Skype+discussion

Thoughts on the ECE and Skype article Hope I'm doing this right? May have to Skype for support! This was thought provoking, I think one of the benefits not mentioned, and I guess something we know about from our work, is the fact that skyping kind of produces an instant blended community - you are using on-line technology but you are actually seeing the people you are 'talking' to and recognising faces, body language, seeing the setting of their lives etc. Not sure about the time thing the facilitator talks about? My experience with skype is little different in this area than a normal conversation? J9
