According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), twenty-one states have reported widespread influenza; one of which states is Georgia.
With the increase in the influenza outbreak, student attendance rates have been declining.
If the H1N1 virus keeps your students away from the classroom, Microsoft has offered a practical solution to combat this problem.
The article, Microsoft fights H1N1 virus with free website for schools, presents an interesting alternative for students who are told not to or are unable to attend class.
Office Live Workspace (OLW) is a tool that allows educators to create an online class workspace which allows students and teachers to:
- · share assignments
- · distribute handouts
- · post presentations
- · enable group collaboration
In my opinion, this tool will allow students to successfully communicate with their teachers and should be used in classrooms for everyone, not just those affected by the H1N1 virus. Because students often forget what assignments are due, this free website allows parents to be more involved with their child's education.
