more about Distance Learning

Some students did, in fact, access their blogs and took the quizzes. They came back to school after the snow day prepared to move on with the lesson previously planned for the day. Others had excuses about web access,  parents not willing to give up the computer, and just plain forgetting they could had access to school work at home.

In Chicago, school districts have planned distance-learning days for the purpose of practicing learning from home in case of blizzard or flu pandemic. I know very little about the results of those trials. I wonder if students get used to doing distance learning if it would be more utilized and therefore become routine.
