This is a very interesting thread. One of my dsisters has a Masters in Math and accreditation in teaching, and has started tutoring in her small town. She and my other sisters are all checking out skype, and this seems like a great *free*/somewhat low-tech way to interact with a student and other folks. With webcam in place you can talk and see someone for free. I was freaked the first time I checked it out - finally part of the future has arrived!!

We were talking about her tutoring my ds9 in math (just fun projects) as I want him to enjoy math and for now there is not much challenge in math, and only a little enjoyment when something is a bit new/hard for him, so Skype seemed like a good way to do this.

I will forward this thread to her, however, I think she would be interested in the listed resources. thanks!
