"With iChat, it’s easy and affordable to bring videoconferencing into your classroom. You can instantly connect your students with students in other classrooms — all over the globe. And, it’s an effective and easy way to bring experts into your classroom."
"You can meet face to face with teachers and students thousands of miles away in a full-screen videoconference over any broadband connection."
"Students are using iChat to collaborate with students in other classrooms on science experiments, learn about different cultures, discuss perspectives on social issues, understand the impact of natural disasters, and share their work with other students."
"Teachers are using iChat to bring experts into their classrooms. The expert doesn’t have to make a special trip to visit your classroom and you don’t have to coordinate a field trip!"
"Teachers are also using iChat as a professional development tool — either to share their teaching practices with preservice teachers, or to observe mentor teachers in other classrooms. And, they’re also using these tools to connect remote students to their classrooms and to facilitate sign-language communication for their hearing impaired students" (http://www.apple.com/education/solutions/ichat).
