When young people go off to college nowadays, there are so many ways to keep in touch – cell phone, text messaging, Facebook, instant messaging, e-mail and Skype (or a similar type of communication).

One of the enjoyable ways we keep in contact with our granddaughter is Skype. We all can see one another as well has having real time communication. Kara and her younger brother have great conversations over Skype. Even the dog sees Kara’s face and looks around for her in person.
“But I don’t know how to use Skype,” you say.
A great resource, we’ve discovered, is Skype for Dummies to help you get set up, learn how to use it, even make conference calls. We haven’t tried conference calls with Kara yet, but my husband uses them for a home based business, communicating with associates around the country.
Friends say they found Skype very useful last year when their daughter went to college in a distant state. They all communicated regularly and kept the family in touch.
Have you used Skype with your college students?
