It strikes me that in the Highlands in particular, virtual networking (as much as I hate anything with the word "virtual" in it!) is a valid and extremely useful way of making links and broadening horizons. In terms of its educational uses, I would point to the idea of schools attempting to blog and "Skype" in order to communicate with other learning communities as being a good way forward.
