With a possible case of swine flu in a nearby school, we are making plans t=
oday for how we will handle delivery of coursework in the event we will nee=
d to close school for up to 7 days. Do any of you have specific plans in pl=
ace 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 w=
ill 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? Audaci=
ty for foreign language or lectures? Voicethread? OneNote shared sessions?=

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