Acing Parent-Teacher Conferences - cool article. Ideas?

Wanted to share this WSJ article: Acing Parent-Teacher Conferences. Thought Zaslow did a terrific job of capturing the broad conversation and offering tips for both teachers and parents.

(I'm quoted about using Skype video for parent-teacher conferences, something I learned about in forums like these. They also gave a nice shout to VolunteerSpot's free/ez parent-teacher conference scheduler.)

How are you preparing and runinng parent-teacher conferences this year?
