RSS blog II- Skype users increasing

Reading through all of my RSS information on Voice Conferencing has been interesting. Two of the blogs I have subscribed to have posted similar information. Both Skype Journal and VoIP Watch have mentioned Skype's increase in users. VoIP Watch links to an article on another blog called TMCnet. The article mentions that based on a report by Pike and Fischer "approximately 8.5 million U.S. households will start using VoIP for their home phone service by 2010, which would bring the total number of VoIP connected households to about 30 million". That's alot of users. Skype Journal also mentioned an increase in Skype accounts and an increase in Skype minutes.

Both these blogs mention an overall increase in users of Skype. Beings more and more people are using Skype, chances are more students are going to start to use Skype. How have our schools increased their use of Skype for educational purposes? Since Skype is fairly new, it may take some time for teachers to figure out how to use Skype to help student learn. Teachers should start to ask their students their ideas about using Skype since chances are, many of the students may already be using Skype in their homes.
