H1N1 Virus & Continuity of Learning

How have you or your schools prepared for extended student absences? With the H1N1 virus so prevalent in schools this academic year, the United States Department of Education has issued a set of recommendations to help facilitate continuity of learning for students with extended absences. They suggest a variety of options to provide students at home with class materials, suggest digital and technology-based resources to help close the gap, and remind schools to keep all student contact information up to date.

Have you taken any steps to ensure continuity of learning? Can you share any specific stories or examples?
