What about developed technologies NOT in use (at least in the curriculum) at Uni? Cell phones, iPods, laptops, handhelds, other hardware? Wiki, chat, IM, other "software"?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, I thought of one more. VOIP, using services like Skype. Educational uses would go along with the WebCam idea -- communicate in real time with folks at Konan, others we are collaborating with remotely. Or, as Ms. Bant mentioned, communicating with parents who are far away, alumni, etc.
