Making Connections with My Classmate

I just read a great point made by Roseanne.  She was mentioning how Skype is a good tool to use in the classroom. She then mentioned how she knows someone who used Skype while she was out on maternity leave.  What are your thoughts?  My comment was that I have mixed feelings.  I like the idea of remaining connected, as long as it doesn't take away from bonding with the baby.  After all, it is a leave to be with baby.  Thoughts?  Read her entire blog entry and my response on Rosanne Field's Blog.
