Skype would be a definite possibility. I know that some folks have
some issues with the security and Skype's desire to use all your
bandwidth, but it should be great for this. Another option would be
to send a MacBOok with the kid and have him use iChat. Using iChat

West Des Moines talked about using the Lumens Flex Cams (the
red ladybug as our District now knows them by) as a Skype camera. Can't
vouch for it, and don't know about the microphone idea either. But, it
