I have an Idea

Ok. So while I have been looking at all these different articles about how technology can be helpful in learning and all that, I thought of an idea. I'm sure that this idea has already been used or is in the process of being created but if not well here my chance to tell the world of a great technological idea I guess. Well, I think that classrooms should put cameras into thier classrooms and have like a podcast type of deal so that kids that are home sick or unable to make it to class that day won't be missing out on anything. The student could be there through the computer on a messaging program if they had any questions or wanted to contribute to the discussion. I think in fact that it should be required that if you are home from school and are not unconcioius or something, you should have to at least do some work with the class that day. That maybe a little extreme I suppose but I still think that it would be nice to be able to be sick from school and still be able to do your work and not have to worry about making up assignments or anything like that. Just a thought...I think it would be neat.
