Subject: Pandemic planning

With a possible case of swine flu in a nearby school, we are making
plans today for how we will handle delivery of coursework in the event
we will need to close school for up to 7 days. Do any of you have
specific plans in place and if so what are you
recommending to your teachers?

We have the advantage of being a 1:1 school, so our students and
teachers will all have computers and internet access at home. We also
use Blackboard so will have a place for teachers to post information.

Are you recommending any specific software solutions for coursework?
Audacity for foreign language or lectures? Voicethread? OneNote shared
sessions?=20

We'd love to hear any ideas you have in your plans.

Thanks - Karen
