I hope you are all doing well.  I have just returned from a conference on teaching American History and now want to put into motion some of the things I learned at Summercore.  To start I have decided I need a webcam with a built in mic so that I can use skype and voice thread.  Does anyone have any advice on a particular one or price range for a PC laptop or desktop for that matter?
