On this website(which I visited) you can create videos with your phone anywhere and you could post them on the website or email them to your friends. This could be used for salesmen of homes and teachers that need to post how to do something learned in class or if someone went on vacation and got behind or didn't know how to do the homework the teacher could send yodio videos on it.

**Imagine having a mentor or instructor from another country or location make a live appearance in your classroom.

These chat sessions or conferences could be accessed through your iPod touch or cell phone.** **~ Barron, Ann E. and Karen S.
