No apologies - certainly - necessary. It is just that phones are still so
rare in educational settings, at least in the US, that their extensions,
including both cellphones and video, may actually find an educational role
more quickly. The corollary is that, again in the US, so few educators
actually know how to use phones, how to leave or take concrete and useful
messages for example, that it's almost impossible to reach a classroom
teacher without a home phone number. As a result, in-service relationships,
from teaching, technical assistance, or merely networking, are much, much
more difficult.
