Original essay discussing benefits and challenges of a very narrow topic. Dac04 (talk) 18:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep The numerous sources provided in the article indicate that this topic is far from original. The supposed narrowness of the topic is likewise refuted by these sources.  And the essay criticism is irrelevant being, if anything, a matter of style, not deletion. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:57, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Google book search shows one result straight away talking about this, and Google news search shows a press release about a study they did. Ample references in the article, although they not placed there properly.  I'll go work on some of that now.    D r e a m Focus  09:34, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Topic is awfully narrow. How is online communication between school and home different from online communication between a shopping mall and an airplane?  It's all just communication over the Internet, the mechanisms of which are already covered in great detail in other articles.  The only difference is what software is specifically made for that purpose.  Therefore, this article only serves as a veiled linkspam advertisement for the various software packages linked to in the "Technology and Tools" section of this article. If this subject is truly notable per WP:GNG (and I don't believe it is), the article would require a complete rewrite to become encyclopedic.  Snotty Wong   spout 14:18, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The difference between online communications between school and home and that of a shopping mall and an airplane should be obvious. One is a well documented and major advance in educating people and allowing parents to keep track of what their kids are doing.  The other makes no sense at all.

 * Keep Although the style may not be quite encyclopedic, this article is relevant. It's not arbitrarily discussing what online communication is, but how it is utilized to achieve outcomes specific to education. Mr.gsrussell 11:07, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep This article offers not advertisements for technologies but summaries how online communicate is used between school and home, in terms of education. In education field, this topic is not narrow, which could be dealt with more broader. This topic is necessary for people who look for appropriate technologies in school and the purpose.Exgalaxy 21:41, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
