	The child is linked to his class via the Internet. A Bednet set consists of 2 laptops (one with the child, one in the classroom), two webcams, two scanner-printers and a photo camera focusing on the blackboard. Whenever the teacher places a document onto the scanner in the classroom, the same document will be printed at the child’s home after a short time, and vice versa. The sounds and images from the webcam allow the child to follow the school’s lessons in real time. If he has a question or an answer to an asked question he can let the class know by giving them a sound or light signal. This way the ill child is able to follow the lessons as they are happening. After school the system can be used to give out homework and tasks or to hand them in. The child can sit tests and exams under supervision of the teacher at the same time as or at a different time than the other children. All these possibilities enormously increase his chances to succeed. But also the psychological impact is important because the child is visible again in the classroom and takes part in the social life of the class.		The child is linked to his class via the Internet.

	While Bednet is aware of several similar initiatives in the Netherlands like ~~Ziezon~~[[Ziezon]], there appear to be no similar services active in other parts of the world. Some work on telepresence robots in South Korea and USA is related.
