I have used Skype to talk to my father in Vietnam. It is so good to see someone while you speak. The delay takes a little getting use to. A good headset is handy. I have it on my iphone and am pretty comfortable using it. I already have an account.
Jing has a few different features and I could see there may be a few more educational uses. I could see kids using Skype to speak with kids that may be creating a similar project, particularly a community project. They could speed up the process of sharing ideas. I do imagine there would be the need for discussing appropriate behavior. Some would be very shy, silly, or "hog" the screen. A lot of modeling would be required, or teacher guided.
