The New Classroom

After reading Mr. Fisch's H1N1, Skype, and a Possible Tipping Point blog it really meant a lot to me because recently i was sick and i thought it would be cool just sit in on your classes use skype. Could this be the new way students attend classes using skype? It reminds me of a show called Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide because there is a teacher there that teachers her students through a computer. IF students are sick i think the should have the option to use a tool like skype that way even if there too sick too go to school the won't miss out and the can keep on top of there school work. I think it great that are school is very technology advanced so is this the next step for use having classes online? I think it should be an option but not the only option because there is no substitution for the real hands on experience.
