School districts are turning to online learning opportunities to prevent lost class time when weather closes schools. In New Hampshire, "If 80 percent of students and staff participate online, the day will not have to be made up in June, according to the district’s website." "Ohio districts that exhaust their five annual “calamity” days can use up to three “e-learning days” during which students read through lessons and complete assignments at home. At the end of 2013, only 95 districts out of the 614 statewide (Ohio) had submitted plans to use e-learning days to the state Department of Education. That number jumped to 246 by the beginning of February. Students have two weeks after the e-learning day to complete any assignments, so those who don’t have internet access at home are not penalized."Anyone have experience with this yet? We do not have this in our district.
