In terms of applying this tool to classroom life, teachers could skype the classroom and teach from home if they are sick. They could have teacher conferences from virtually anywhere as well as parent teacher conferences from the comfort of ones' home. This tool is suited for just about any subject if used properly and if necessary. It's a live action camera, so as long as one has the materials necessary to demonstrate an assignment, than they could do lessons from home. A few ways to implement this tool would be to use to for a virtual field trip or have a guest speaker teach or speak.
