I agree one can do a lot by "simple" email. However, my greatest frustration in this communication mode is lack of graphics, due to need for text based emails.
I use an older version of Netscape, which allows graphics, but it clogs the e- arteries. If you are going to explain this stuff to introductory students, you have _got_ to link graphics closely with text. IMHO.
