I'm a so-so fan of Skype. I've used it on an infrequent basis and have had more than a few dropped calls. Audio and video alike.
However, it's a cheap way to make long distance calls and seems to work better over wi-fi and the video quality is improving on a regular basis.

Collaborative poetry:
In this assignment, connected classrooms pen poetic pieces together and share them via video conferencing.
Practice interviews:
The education system frequently receives criticism for its failure to prepare students for the real world, but using Skype to help them run through mock-up

You can search for interactive timelines on different topics (history, films, science, etc.) or even better, you can create your own timeline about your life or an event and add pictures and text.
This is great for teaching! Students could create their timelines and share it with each other. They can practise all four skills, grammar (e. g. past tense), summarising a story, events, etc.
