Skype eyes connecting 1M teachers in social network for education - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "Videoconferencing giant Skype aims to connect one million teachers by building a social network for educators.

Skype said its "Skype in the Classroom" has so far signed up more than 16,000 teachers to its social network since launching a beta version in December.

“Skype has been going on for many, many years, and teachers have been finding each other and they’ve been finding ways to use the power of Skype in the educational process for a long time. We really felt that it was time to take this to the next level... moving from grassroots Skype in the classroom to an initiative driven by Skype," said Skype CEO Tony Bates on Wednesday at the Social Good Summit, according to a report on Mashable.com."
