As far as WebCams go - they are a HUGE, INCREDIBLE NO NO NO NO!!! When at home many of the kids are in their bedrooms and no adult outside my family needs to be looking into my child's room. It opens up a world that no one wants to travel. Eluminate is a good program and is one that mine used in her 5 online AP classes, but as a parent, I would have REFUSED to allow a webcam in our home - to the level that I would have removed her from the class first. In fact, if I remember right (and I think I do) I had to send in a notarized permission form to allow any pictures of my daughter or any of her work to be displayed online.
Anyone who thinks a webcam is a good idea is plumb crazy and naive to a stupid level

Webcam in the bedroom? Unsupervised tutoring?
Well...These parents are so stupid that **indeed** their children should be institutionalized.
