In the end, I used iChat to chat with my mother. She has a Mac as well and I taught her how to use it so we can stay connected while I am away at school. It was difficult to get started but it is overall a very convenient way to talk.
There are still challenges, however. It can be delayed, blank out, or be hard to hear but for the most part, it beats talking on the phone.
I could see this being helpful for teaching where a student has to be absent or where a teacher is far away but decides to give the students their money's worth. It seems like something that could be better used in the later grades.
Oh, and my movie is finished.
