[CASL-L] Video conferencing for student at home with illness

[Tracy Earnshaw]

Years and years ago we had a kid with cancer.  We put a laptop on a media
cart and rolled him around to his classes.  He was set up in the corner of
each room so he could see the whole class and they could see him at his
home desk.  I see this working easily with a Chromebook, no cart needed.
Google Hangouts would be ideal but back then we used this new product
called Skype! :)
