We just got new iMacs earlier this year, with the built in cameras
and I have teachers who will now do iChat with me instead of calling
on the phone. One in particular will use it when use it when her
class has a question and she will have her kids around her. Of
course, if I don't answer she just emails me. Unfortunately not all
of the classroom teachers wanted iMacs so they got new Dells, but
unfortunately they didn't get the web cams nor the software...
We can only connect to people in our own building. It sure would be
nice if we could connect to the other elementary school!
